摘要
The Prospective Randomized Evaluation of the Vascular Effects of Norvasc Trial is the first angiographic clinical trial to be designed to test whether an agent can slow or even reverse the progression of early coronary atherosclerosis in patients with documented disease, In addition, a subset of patients are undergoing carotid ultrasound examinations, providing a unique opportunity to assess and correlate disease progression in 2 arterial beds.
