1PitavastatinSubjects are receiving Pitavastatin, starting at 2 mg, for 12 months. After administration, serum LDL-cholesterol should be kept between 100 and 80 mg/dL by controlling the dose of Pitavastatin or adding other anti-hyperlipidemia agents other than statins.
2PitavastatinSubjects are receiving Pitavastatin, starting at 4 mg, for 12 months. After administration, serum LDL-cholesterol should be kept under 80 mg/dL by controlling the dose of Pitavastatin or adding other anti-hyperlipidemia agents other than statins.
