- Abstract
This article presents a sub-analysis of an age-related maculopathy statin study (ARMSS) data to examine the impact of statins on retinal vascular caliber changes compared to placebo treatment. The ARMSS examined the effect of simvastatin intake versus placebo in preventing the age-related macular degeneration progression. It concludes that statins may contribute to the prevention or management of retinal vascular diseases related to cardiovascular risks and inflammation.
