Rationale and design features of a clinical trial examining the effects of cholesterol lowering and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition on coronary atherosclerosis: Simvastatin/Enalapril Coronary Atherosclerosis Trial (SCAT). SCAT Investigators.

Abstract

Insights gained from this long term angiographic trial will lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms of benefits of these two treatments, both alone and in combination. Of particular interest is that this trial will be able to examine a suspected beneficial interaction, if present, between these two treatments.
