Statins
About the Procedure
Statins are cholesterol-lowering medications that reduce the production of LDL (‘bad’) cholesterol in the liver. They also stabilize fatty plaques in blood vessels, lowering the risk of heart attack and stroke. Widely used in cardiovascular prevention and treatment, statins are effective for patients with high cholesterol, diabetes, or established heart disease. When taken regularly and combined with lifestyle changes, statins significantly reduce cardiovascular events and improve long-term heart health.
