Published
The pravastatin treatment was less effective on plaque inflammation than pitavastatin treatment. This trend was the same in the carotid arteries and the thoracic aorta. Pitavastatin not only improved the atherosis as measured by IMT and cIBS values but also attenuated inflammation of plaques as measured by max SUV at the same site. The present study indicated that pitavastatin has stronger effects on the regression and stabilization of plaques in the thoracic aorta and carotid arteries compared with pravastatin.
