Comparison of Rosuvastatin Versus Atorvastatin for Coronary Plaque Stabilization.Statins are widely used to lower cholesterol and to reduce cardiovascular events.  Patients with de novo coronary artery disease requiring intervention were randomized to rosuvastatin 10mg (R10) or atorvastatin 20mg (A20) daily.  In conclusion, although both statins demonstrated similar reductions in lipid profiles, the rosuvastatin group showed more rapid and robust plaque stabilization, and regression of plaque volume compared to the atorvastatin group.

Optical coherence tomography and intravascular ultrasound were performed at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months.  Untreated nonculprit plaques were analyzed by optical coherence tomography for thin-cap fibroatheroma, minimum fibrous cap thickness, lipid arc, and lipid length.
