Background
This analysis examines the effect of lipid intervention with simvastatin on noncoronary ischemic symptoms and signs during a median follow-up of 5.4 years.
This analysis also provides new information on the effect of simvastatin on angina pectoris.

Conclusion
“This analysis provides evidence that effective cholesterol lowering with simvastatin 20 to 40 mg/day will retard progression of atherosclerosis in the arterial vasculature, not limited to the coronary circulation, resulting in less ischemic signs and symptoms.”
