PY - 2021 T2 - Katzung & Trevor's Pharmacology: Examination & Board Review, 13e AB - Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the Western world. Drugs discussed in this chapter prevent the sequelae of atherosclerosis (heart attacks, angina, peripheral arterial disease, ischemic stroke) and decrease mortality in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease and hyperlipidemia. Although the drugs are generally safe and effective, they can cause problems, including drug-drug interactions and toxic reactions in skeletal muscle and the liver.
