title: Statin trials in progress: unanswered questions.
abstract: Five years ago, many critics questioned the value of lipid-lowering therapy. Today, the clinical benefits of statins are well documented, but the challenge remains to fully implement these benefits across the wide spectrum of the at-risk population, and continue to advance our understanding regarding the potential for the benefits of statins across an even broader range of select patient populations.
