There is and it is seen throughout the body as mentioned. I am glad to hear
that because you haven't heard of it then it does not exist.

Treatment of cholesterol abnormalities.

Cardiovascular disease and its subset coronary heart disease are leading
causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States and worldwide. In
general, higher levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol are associated
with an increased risk of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, and
stroke. Reducing dietary fat can improve total cholesterol levels, but
consequent reductions in cardiovascular outcomes are not well documented.
The Mediterranean diet is the only dietary intervention associated with a
reduction in all-cause mortality. Treatment with cholesterol-lowering
medications decreases the rate of cardiovascular events, but a reduction in
all-cause mortality with these agents has been found only in patients with
pre-existing coronary heart disease. Drug treatment in patients with a
history of heart disease and average-to-high cholesterol levels can decrease
the risk for stroke. In patients with peripheral vascular disease, treatment
of elevated cholesterol levels may slow disease progression.

[The practice guideline 'Peripheral vascular disease' (first revision) from
the Dutch College of General Practitioners: a response from the perspective
of surgery]

The practice guideline 'Peripheral vascular disease' is well written and
based on evidence-based principles. In comparison with the previous
guideline considerable attention is given to secondary prevention. In this
guideline general practitioners are more diffident about prescribing statins
than vascular specialists. This is probably related to the fact that this
guideline refers to another guideline of the College concerning the
treatment of patients with high-cholesterol concentrations and not to
recently-published large studies. The guideline advises making a distinction
between intermittent claudication stage 2a and 2b. This is impractical as
the choice of therapy depends on the subjective feelings of disability. Some
controversy remains with respect to the detection of asymptomatic abdominal
aneurysms: should there routinely be only physical examination or
ultrasonographic screening as well? The guideline advises against routine
ultrasonic screening, which is in line with the view held by the author of
this commentary.
