At the Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association (AHA) held here in November, scientists reported that among apparently healthy patients with elevated levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP, an inflammatory biomarker) but without elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels (< 130 mg/dL), using a statin reduced the LDL-C levels and significantly reduced the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and death.
