Treatment with high-potency statins offers a significantly improved chance of survival compared to those taking normal statins, a study concludes after analyzing the data of thousands of patients who suffered heart attacks. The study also found a combination of statins and the drug ezetimibe showed no improved survival rate, although researchers caution this finding needs further testing.
