Summary

In patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) increased LDL-cholesterol reduction (rosuvastatin 40 mg) will provide incremental plaque stabilization (changes in plaque composition) and plaque regression over 12 months beyond the benefit of moderate LDL-cholesterol reduction (rosuvastatin 5 mg) (assessed by IVUS and VH).
