- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The percentage of the patients that achieve the goal proposed for NCEP ATP III (2001 y 2004) will be assessed, to C-LDL in patients treated with Rosuvastatin or Ezetimibe/Simvastatin at least for 8 weeks. Data will be collected using CRFs after complete at least 15 patients over a 24 week period.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The percentage of LDL-C reduction according to baseline levels in patients treated wuth Rosuvastatin or Ezetimibe/Simvastatin for at least 8 weeks. Data will be collected using CRFs after complete at least 15 patients over a 24 week period.
