Cardiovascular Safety Watch Column

Cardiovascular Safety Watch Column
This month’s column takes a new approach to reporting about cardiovascular safety issues. It focuses on a paper by Dr David Gutstein and his co-authors, which discusses the drug anacetrapib, a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor. J. Rick Turner at Quintiles describeshow cardiovascular safety liabilities associated with an earlier drug in the same class, torcetrapib, are not associated with anacetrapib.
