Efficacy of lipid lowering therapy in inducing arrest or reversal of coronary disease: Serial assessment of perfusion with PET predicts clinical outcome

Background: PET myocardial perfusion imaging (PET MPI) identifies coronary disease (CAD) progression and reversal in response to lipid lowering therapy (LLT), however, the optimal lipid values necessary to reverse CAD are unknown. In practice, NCEP ATP III guidelines (NCEP) are used as clinical targ...
