[Role of rosuvastatin in current lipid-lowering therapy].
Statins are the most widely used lipid-lowering therapy. Among them, the rosuvastatin can be well tolerated and effectively helps to reach LDL-cholesterol goals in primary and secondary cardiovascular prevention. In addition, rosuvastatin reduces triglyceride and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level and increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, too. Imaging studies demonstrated that rosuvastatin therapy can not only reduce atherosclerosis progression but might induce its regression too.
