    Most people who are at risk of developing heart disease aren't being helped by cholesterol-lowering statins. The drugs failed to reduce levels of 'bad' LDL cholesterol in 58 per cent of at-risk patients, new research has discovered.

    The findings echo those in a study last month that had found the drugs are ineffective in 50 per cent of patients.
