The NCEP did not release an estimate of how many patients should now take cholesterol-lowering drugs, called statins. Christopher P. Cannon, a cardiologist at Brigham & Woman's hospital, says 50 million people should take the drugs. Another cardiologist, Steven E. Nissen of the Cleveland Clinic, said that number looked reasonable, although James I. Cleeman, a researcher at the National Heart Blood and Lung Institute and a co-author of the report said it was "a little high."
