Abstract:
The effect of fluvastatin on low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle diameter was investigated in 42 hypercholesterolemic patients. Fluvastatin reduced LDL cholesterol significantly but had no effect on LDL particle diameter; it also had no differential effect on patients classified as LDL pattern A (large LDL), pattern B (small LDL), or I (intermediate LDL).
