Obstacles to mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in a community-based heart failure population.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Previous studies have demonstrated that intensive lipid lowering using rosuvastatin results in regression of coronary plaques. However, few data exist regarding lipid profiles over time, drug tolerability, and the effects of prior use of lipid lowering agents in patients on rosuvastatin treatment. Therefore,...
