Crestor Now for Blocked Arteries.
" Crestor won U.S. approval for use of its cholesterol treatment, Crestor (rosuvastatin calcium), against artery-blocking fat deposits that cause strokes and heart attacks."
"Crestor is said to be the first cholesterol medicine to win FDA clearance to be marketed as effective against...atherosclerosis."
"Atherosclerosis is a progressive disease and the main cause of heart disease, the world's biggest killer."
FDA spokesman Christopher Kelly said that Crestor "was approved as a therapy to slow the progression of" the disease.
