widely used these modest increases
in risk of cardiovascular disease
might translate into a large burden
of disease in the population,” the
researchers said.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 30 Jul 10 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 30 Jul 10
