“Failure” of Cholesterol Medication?
- Despite many of our patients receiving expensive long-term lipid-lowering

marked than those who were are receiving therapy
- These results highlight the complementary effects of our exercise
program and lipid-lowering medication
Improvement in risk profile of those uncontrolled on statins
