develop Alzheimer's.
Atherosclerosis is a progressive disease where advanced and unstable
plaques develop over time.
The findings, published in PLoS Genetics, indicate that preventative cholesterol - lowering treatment could prevent more advanced, clinically relevant
plaque to
develop.
It is therefore preferable to either prevent advanced
plaque development, or to reduce and stabilize the
plaques in those where they have already
developed.
