Medical Therapy Induced Regression of Plaque in a Female Patient with ASCVD.

The initiation and progression of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) has always been associated with a series of risk factors. Evidences of statin therapy from randomized clinical trials are abundant, whereas discussions regarding patients with ASCVD without evidence-based risk factors are rare. Here, we describe a case of a 58-year-old woman who was diagnosed with ASCVD with none of these evidence-based risk factors. After four years of medical interventions, including atorvastatin, the patient recovered completely from severe chest pain with significant regression of atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries.
