Compare the Efficacy of Rosuvastatin to Atorvastatin in High Risk Patients With Hypercholesterolemia - Full Text View

Purpose

This trial is to compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Rosuvastatin with Atorvastatin by assessing the change of LDL-C in patients with hypercholesterolemia and history of coronary heart disease (CHD) or risk equivalent, or a 10 year CHD risk of no less than 10%, following 6-week treatment and a possible 6 week extension treatment.
