The purpose of altering plasma lipoprotein levels is to reduce the risk of coronary events. The results of outcome trials are available for lovastatin (Downs et al, 1998), simvastatin (Scandinavian Simvastatin Survival Study Group 1994), and pravastatin (Shepherd et al, 1995 Sacks et al, 1996 The Long-Term Intervention With Pravastatin in Ischaemic Disease (LIPID) Study Group, 1998). Three of these trials, 4S, Cholesterol and Recurrent Events (CARE), and LIPID, studied patients with CHD, whereas the West of Scotland Coronary Revention Study Group and the Air Force Coronary Atherosclesosis Prevention Study (AFCAPS) evaluated the benefits of therapy in patients without known CHD. The main results of these trials are summarized in Tables la and lb. [Pg.98]
