排除标准

  • Standard Contra-indications to statin therapy:
  • 1)Pregnancy, breast-feeding or women of child-bearing potential not using adequate contraception
  • 2)Known atherosclerotic disease i.e. previous episodes of confirmed Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), unstable angina; myocardial infarction with or without ST elevation; or stable CHD/CVD deemed to require statin therapy on clinical grounds, including:
  • 2a) Previous amputation due to severe peripheral vascular disease or severe peripheral arterial disease
  • 2b) Previous central or peripheral revascularisation procedure (including coronary angioplasty, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, peripheral arterial graft surgery)
  • 2c) Accelerated hypertension, severe heart failure (class III or IV), significant dysrhythmia or angina requiring hospitalisation in the 6 months preceding potential study entry
  • 2d) Uncontrolled hypertension (treated or untreated) defined as systolic blood pressure > 200 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure > 110 mmHg (identified as the disappearance of all sound (Korotkoff Phase V) after sitting quietly for at least 3 min)
  • 2e) Previous cerebrovascular accident
  • 2f) Other accepted indication for statin therapy according to the investigators¡ current clinical practice
  • 2g)Known familial hyperlipidaemia requiring drug therapy
  • 2h)Known diabetes
  • 3a)Known primary muscle disease
  • 3b)Known hypersensitivity or intolerance to statins
  • 3c)Active liver disease or hepatic dysfunction with AST or ALT >2x upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • 3d)Severe renal dysfunction (Creatinine >200 micromol/l)
  • Creatinine phosphokinase (CK) >3xULN
  • 3e)Uncontrolled hypothyroidism
  • 3f)Taking any of the following medications:
  • i)Other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (unless warranted as add-in therapy for post-endpoint management of study patients. In such a case during the course of the trial, it will be suggested to the managing physician to start initially Atorvastatin at a dose of 10mg daily (or equivalent dose of another statin of their choice).
  • ii)Drugs known to be associated with rhabdomyolysis in combination with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (e.g. ciclosporin, erythromycin, azo anti-fungals, protease inhibitors and all macrolides)
  • iii)Drugs (other than beta-blockers, diuretics, ACE inhibitors, other anti-hypertensive agents, oral hypoglycaemic agents and thyroxine replacement therapy) known to affect lipid levels, that interact with the study medications, or that may affect clinical laboratory parameters (such as isotretinoin).
  • iv)Lipid-regulating drugs: probucol, fibrates and derivatives, bile acid sequestering resins. Patients currently taking a lipid-altering drug may be considered for screening after a 4-week wash-out period except in the case of probucol where medication must have been discontinued for at least 6 months.
  • v)Drinking more than 1 240ml glass of grapefruit juice per day
  • 4)Participation in another clinical trial (other than observational trials and registries) concurrently or within 30 days prior to screening for entry into this study
  • 5)Other serious illness or significant abnormalities th
