moderate carotid stenosis. The study randomly assigned patients into two treatment arms, low(10 mg) and high-dose (80 mg) atorvastatin therapy, over 12 weeks, and assessed the dose-response interaction [10] . The purpose of this preliminary evaluation of long-term follow-up is to report on the ability of initial USPIO-enhanced MRI to predict subsequent cerebrovascular and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
