description: | Coronary flow reserve is mainly influenced by the combination of luminal stenosis and vascular dilation capacity. Thus, after statin treatment, the reduction of ischemic threshold in patients submitted to exercise testing could be intensely influenced by angiographic severity. In this study, we verify the effect of statin treatment on exercise-induced myocardial ischemia in hypercholesterolemic patients with a broad range of coronary angiographic severities. Patients with 2 consecutive positive exercise tests, coronary stenosis ≥70%, total cholesterol ≥300 mg/dl, and triglycerides ≤200 mg/dl were randomly assigned to a 16-week treatment period with either diet alone (n = 39) or diet plus statins (simavastatin, n = 31 and pravastatin, n = 10). Statin-treated patients had a significant variation in total cholesterol (−46% vs −2.7%; p |
