----------

There must be a role for anti-inflammatory drugs in coronary heart disease as well. A lot of what I've read describes the initial process of plaque formation beginning with chronic immune regulated inflammation along the arterial wall that becomes a locus for LDL cholesterol infiltration, breakdown, and accumulation. The inflammation and high blood pressure work together to cause the problem, with platelet aggregation following and compounding the issue.
Curiously, there've been several studies indicating a link between statins and mood as well. It seems like the markers are just all over the board when it comes to depression.
