Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of atorvastatin in lowering cholesterol and getting these high risk patients to their goals of LDL \<115 mg/dl across starting doses of 10 mg, 20 mg, or 40 mg with one step titration.

Conditions

  • Dyslipidemias

Interventions

DRUG

Atorvastatin

In previously treated patients, starting atorvastatin doses (oral tablets given once daily) of 20 mg (in patients with LDL-C levels between 115 and 164 mg/dL at baseline) or 40 mg (in patients with LDL-C levels between 165 and 235 mg/dL at baseline) were given for 6 weeks. If LDL-C target was achieved at Week 6, doses remained the same. If LDL-C target was not achieved at Week 6, doses were doubled.

DRUG

Atorvastatin

In statin-naive patients, starting atorvastatin doses (oral tablets given once daily) of 10 mg (in patients with LDL-C levels between 115 and 164 mg/dL at baseline), 20 mg (in patients with LDL-C levels between 165 and 174 mg/dL at baseline), or 40 mg (in patients with LDL-C levels between 175 and 235 mg/dL at baseline) were given for 6 weeks. If LDL-C target was achieved at Week 6, doses remained the same. If LDL-C target was not achieved at Week 6, doses were doubled.
