Rosuvastatin combined with ramipril significantly reduced atheroma volume by anti-inflammatory mechanism: Comparative analysis with rosuvastatin alone by intravascular ultrasound.
Summary of "Rosuvastatin combined with ramipril significantly reduced atheroma volume by anti-inflammatory mechanism: Comparative analysis with rosuvastatin alone by intravascular ultrasound."
We tested the effects of rosuvastatin combined with ramipril on atheroma volume and its mechanism in de novo, intermediate coronary artery disease.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Cardiac Output
The volume of BLOOD passing through the HEART per unit of time. It is usually expressed as liters (volume) per minute so as not to be confused with STROKE VOLUME (volume per beat).
Compressed Air
Air that is reduced in volume by pressure.
Total Lung Capacity
The volume of air contained in the lungs at the end of a maximal inspiration. It is the equivalent to each of the following sums: VITAL CAPACITY plus RESIDUAL VOLUME; INSPIRATORY CAPACITY plus FUNCTIONAL RESIDUAL CAPACITY; TIDAL VOLUME plus INSPIRATORY RESERVE VOLUME plus functional residual capacity; or tidal volume plus inspiratory reserve volume plus EXPIRATORY RESERVE VOLUME plus residual volume.
Cardiac Volume
The volume of the HEART, usually relating to the volume of BLOOD contained within it at various periods of the cardiac cycle. The amount of blood ejected from a ventricle at each beat is STROKE VOLUME.
Blood Volume
Volume of circulating BLOOD. It is the sum of the PLASMA VOLUME and ERYTHROCYTE VOLUME.
