Is it true that Statins improve blood flow in patients with atherosclerosis?
Unclear. Several sources partially support the claim: a small study of ten stroke patients found statin treatment improved cerebrovascular reactivity, and reviews state statins may improve blood flow or coronary flow reserve through endothelial effects. None of the placed items directly measures improved blood flow in an atherosclerosis population at the strength the claim asserts.
