Abstract

Coronary disease remains a significant point with strong medical interest in the area of current medicine. Statistical and epidemiological evidence correlating cholesterol with coronary disease has guided us towards an increase of research for the correct prognostic information of Hypercholesterolaemia. The discoνery and new evolutionary research of a recent group of hypolipidaemic compounds, which is an HMG-CoA Reductase inhibitor, offers a safe new perception in the area of preliminary and preventive atheromatosis of the coronary vessels.
