We have demonstrated previously in a subset of Monitored Atherosclerosis Regression Study (MARS) subjects with hypercholesterolemia (190 to 295 mg/dL) and documented coronary artery disease that lovastatin significantly reduces cholesterol-rich lipoprotein B (LpB) but has little effect on complex, triglyceride-rich apolipoprotein (ape) B-containing LpB(c) (the sum of LpB:C, LpB:C:E and LpA-II:B:C:D:E) particles defined by their apolipoprotein composition. This differential effect of lovastatin on apoB-containing lipoprotein families offered the opportunity to determine in the same subset of MARS subjects the independent relationship of LpB and LpB(c) with the progression of coronary artery disease. Subjects randomized to either lovastatin (40 mg twice daily) or matching placebo were evaluated by coronary angiography before randomization and after 2 years of treatment, and the overall coronary status was judged by a coronary global change score. In the lovastatin-treated group, there were 22 nonprogressors (69%) and 10 progressors (31%), while in the placebo group 13 subjects (42%) were nonprogressors and 18 (58%) were progressors (P
