Study Population Design Therapy or Comparison Main Finding
Inoue K et al. JACC Cardiovasc Imaging. 201048 Non-HIV with CAD, n=32 Prospective Interventional, not randomized 12 months fluvastatin vs refused fluvastatin Mean plaque volume: Fluvastatin −15.9 mm3 vs control 4 mm3 (p=0.01)
Lo J et al. Lancet HIV. 201521 PWH, n=37 Prospective Interventional Randomized Controlled 12 months atorvastatin vs placebo in persons with HIV Median Δ noncalcified plaque volume: atorvastatin −19% (−8.2 mm3) vs. placebo +20% (+6.7 mm3), p=0.009
Auscher S et al. Atherosclerosis. 201549 HIV-uninfected with acute MI, n=96 Prospective Interventional Randomized Controlled 12 months intensive rosuvastatin vs standard statin Median Δ plaque volume intensive: +43.5 vs standard: +19.1 mm3, p<0.001
Noguchi T et al. JACC 201550 HIV-uninfected CAD Prospective. Interventional, non-randomized 12 months intensive pitavastatin vs propensity matched controls Mean Δ low attenuation plaque volume: intensive −12.8 vs controls: +8.3 mm3, p=0.004
