The article presents a study on the effects of synergistic cardioprotective interaction between amlodipine and atorvastatin in patients from Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial-Lipid Lowering Arm (ASCOT-LLA). The study suggests that patients receiving amlodipine-based regimens experienced nonfatal myocardial infarction and fatal coronary heart disease events of 53% less frequently when receiving atorvastatin 10 milligram compared with placebo.
