Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) is a pivotal factor of the atheromatous process. Statins reduce atheromatosis and cardiovascular risk. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of statin therapy on circulating oxLDL and the possible impact of such effect on stenosis due to carotid artery atheromatosis.
