Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study was to measure the effect of moderate and intensive lipid-lowering treatment with rosuvastatin on the carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) as a surrogate marker of cardiovascular risk.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of this study was to measure the effect of moderate (5mg) and intensive (40mg) lipid-lowering treatment with rosuvastatin on the carotid intima-media thickness as a surrogate marker of cardiovascular risk and to obtain whether CIMT correlated with the plaque components in coronary arteries evaluated with Intravascular Ultrasound Virtual Histology (IVUS-VH).
