A study to evaluate the effect of ezetimibe and rosuvastatin on intravascular ultrasound-derived coronary atheroma and lipid lowering effect.

Not Applicable
Conditions
dyslipidemia
Registration Number
JPRN-UMIN000010323
Lead Sponsor
Department of Cardiology and Nephrology, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine
Brief Summary

Intensive lipid-lowering therapy with ezetimibe provide greater reduction in the percent change in plaque volume (PV), the primary endpoint, than the statin monotherapy group (-13.2% versus -3.1%, respectively, P = 0.050).Moreover, percent change in PV showed positive correlations with percent change of LDL-C (r = 0.384, P = 0.015). Intensive lipid-lowering therapy with ezetimibe added to usual-dose statin may provide significant incremental reduction in coronary plaques compared with usual-dose statin monotherapy.
