Statins are used currently for treatment and prevention of coronary artery disease, but it is difficult to assess the therapeutics effects and patient responses to different statins. Virtual histology intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS) has been used to evaluate detailed quantitative changes in coronary plaques, and here we report a case in which marked qualitative improvement in a coronary plaque was observed using VH-IVUS after a change in treatment from a conventional statin to a strong statin.
