Pitavastatin Pleiotropic Study

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4387666/

Conclusions

Pitavastatin not only improved atherosis measured by IMT and the sclerosis measured by cIBS values, but also attenuated inflammation of plaques at the same site as measured by max SUV. The present study indicated that pitavastatin had a stronger effect on regression and stabilization of plaques in the thoracic aorta compared with a mild hydrophilic statin.
