Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if icosapent ethyl (Vascepa) works to lessen the amount of inflammation in adults diagnosed with Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP). The main question it aims to answer is:
What is the effect of taking Vascepa on inflammation in the arteries in patients with CAP? Researchers will compare the drug Vascepa to a placebo (a look-alike submstance that contains no drug) to see if Vascepa works to reduce inflammation in patients with CAP.
Participants wil:
* take Vacscepa or a placebo twice a day for 6 months
* Visit the clinic 3 times (baseline, 30 days, and 6 months) for checkups and tests
