Trial Outcomes & Findings for Rosuvastatin in the Long-term Treatment of Hypercholesterolaemic Subjects With Coronary Heart Disease (NCT NCT00329160)

NCT ID: NCT00329160

Last Updated: 2011-08-31

Results Overview

Plaque volume will be assessed by volumetric analysis with the echoPlaque2 system (Indec Systems Inc). Baseline and follow-up IVUS images will be reviewed side-by-side on a display, and the target segment selected. The target segment to be monitored will be determined in a non-PCI site (\>5 mm proximal or distal to the PCI site) with a reproducible index such as side branches, calcifications, or stent edges.

Participant Flow

Observation Period :Prior to study-related activities, all subjects will sign an informed consent form. IVUS and CAG is performed prior Treatment Treatment Period: Eligible patients started treatment; rosuvastatin 2.5 mg once daily; those whose LDL-C remained \>80 mg/dl after 4 wks of treatment, the dose can be titrated to a maximum of 20 mg/day
