A batch of studies released over the weekend show that the immensely popular heart drugs called statins can help even people who aren't considered to have a high risk of heart disease, and offer some hope for people who cannot tolerate the cholesterol-lowering treatment.
People who took fairly low doses of a statin drug for five years or longer lowered their risk of a heart attack, stroke, or other major heart problem by about 25 percent, according to the studies presented at a meeting of the American College of Cardiology.
