Although the primary endpoint (change in percent atheroma volume) was not different between rimonabant and placebo, other measures of atherosclerosis appeared to change favourably.    From Wordnik.com.  [Dr. Sharma’s Obesity Notes » Blog Archive » Rimonabant for CAD - it’s Not Just About the Heart] Reference

Second, reading the study carefully one finds that what the authors call the PAV (percent atheroma volume) actually increases with statin therapy (This is a measurement of the amount of the vascular wall that is composed of atheroma).    From Wordnik.com.  [The latest on statins | The Blog of Michael R. Eades, M.D.] Reference

That seems a rather unscientific conclusion, given that they observed zero effect on the most important measurable quantity clinical events, and a small effect on atheroma volume, even in the face of significant modification of lipid parameters resulting from statin therapy.    From Wordnik.com.  [The latest on statins | The Blog of Michael R.

Somewhat more interesting is the following: “Substantial atheroma regression (5 percent or more reduction in atheroma volume) was observed in patients with levels of LDL-C less than the mean (87.5 milligrams per deciliter) during treatment and percentage increases of HDL-C greater than the mean (7.5 percent).”.    From Wordnik.com.  [The latest on statins | The Blog of Michael R.
