Figure 1. — Study flow. Out of 163 subjects who were initially screened, 83 subjects underwent baseline ¹⁸F-flurodeoxyglucose positron emission tomographic (FDG-PET)/computed tomographic (CT) scan followed by statin treatment with atorvastatin. Follow-up FDG-PET scan was performed after 12-wk statin therapy. Seventy-one subjects completed the study, and 68 had evaluable PET/CT images. Thereafter, an independent reader analyzed 55 evaluable coronary and carotid computed tomographic angiography (CTA) images while blinded to PET data.
