Primary outcomePrimary: C-reactive Protein — -16; -11 Percentage — p=0.3
Summary
Among patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD), it is not clear if the pleiotropic effects of cholesterol reduction differ between high-dose simvastatin alone and combined ezetimibe/simvastatin.
The investigators sought to compare the anti-inflammatory and anti-platelet effects of ezetimibe 10 mg / simvastatin 20 mg (E10/S20) to simvastatin 80 mg (S80).
