Participant Flow

Patient were recruited between September 2006 and May 2008.

Patients who were naïve to lipid-lowering agent or patients who were treated with lipid-lowering agent and had 4 week' wash-out period were enrolled in the study. The eligible patients will be allocated to one of vytorin 10/20 or atorvastatin 10 mg group in 1:1 ratio.

Vytorin
Vytorin group- The eligible patients were allocated to one of vytorin 10/20 or atorvastatin 10 mg group in 1:1 ratio. If patients didn't achieve LDL-C \< 100 mg/dl after 6 weeks of treatment, they received the double dosage of study drug for the next 6 weeks (vytorin 10/40 or atorvastatin 20 mg) and If patients achieved LDL-C \< 100 mg/dl, they received the same dosage of study drug for the next 6 weeks. Patients who were allocated to vytorin had vytorin 10/20 mg or 10/40 mg tablet, orally, once a day.
Atorvastatin
Atorvastatin group- Patients who were allocated to atorvastatin had atorvastatin 10 mg or 20 mg tablet, orally, once a day.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: After 6 weeks of treatment

Population: The analysis used all patient treated (APT) approach which included all patients who had baseline measured right before randomization, have taken the study drug more than once after randomization and have one measurement after the initiation of the treatment.

Primary objective is to evaluate the proportion of patients achieving LDL-C target \<100 mg/dl recommend in National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) after 6 weeks of treatment(vytorin 10/20 vs. atorvastatin 10 mg)
