Pooled summary estimates of statin induced changes in LDL-C and CRP levels were -34.7 % ( 95 % CI : -37.7 % to -31.8 % ) and -30.8 % ( 95 % CI : -39.4 % to -22.3 % ), respectively ... Our meta-analysis shows a strong correlation between statin induced reductions in LDL-C and CRP , which has not been evident from individual studies

However, whether different mechanisms underlie statin induced CRP and LDL-C reduction is unknown
