Abstract
A number of conventional risk factors at visit 1 were individually associated with plaque formation, also when combined into CHD and ASCVD risk scores, but not with the relative progression in TPA. Medical intervention with statins can reduce the relative progression rate of TPA in the general population with low grade of atherosclerosis, supporting statin use to slow progression of atherosclerosis.
