Over the course of nearly a century of investigation, scientists have developed several lines of evidence that establish the causal connection between blood cholesterol, atherosclerosis, and coronary heart disease. Building on that knowledge, scientists and the pharmaceutical industry have successfully developed a remarkably effective class of drugs--the statins--that lower cholesterol levels in blood and reduce the frequency of heart attacks.|Animals[MESH]|Atherosclerosis/drug therapy/epidemiology/genetics/metabolism[MESH]|Cholesterol/biosynthesis/metabolism[MESH]|Drug Discovery/*history[MESH]|History, 19th Century[MESH]|History, 20th Century[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA Reductase Inhibitors/chemistry/*history/pharmacology/therapeutic use[MESH] |
