Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

1. Patients who voluntarily signed informed consent for participating in this clinical trial

2. Male and female between 20 and 75 years old

3. Patients must have been confirmed essential hypertension and dyslipidemia at Screening visit (Visit1)

4. Patients who meet the following criteria of fasting LDL-C and blood pressure at Baseline visit (Visit3) assessment after undergoing the therapeutic lifestyle change.

• Low risk group: the case that does not have any other risk factor apart from hypertension / LDL-C (mg/dL): ≥160, ≤250, Mean SiSBP(mmHg): ≥140, <180
• Moderate risk group: the case that has more than or equal to one risk factor apart from hypertension and has the 10-year risk of less than 10% / LDL-C (mg/dL): ≥160, ≤250, Mean SiSBP(mmHg): ≥140, <180
• Moderate high risk group: the case that has more than or equal to one risk factor apart from hypertension and has the 10-year risk between 10% and 20% / LDL-C (mg/dL): ≥130, ≤250, Mean SiSBP(mmHg): ≥140, <180
• High risk group: the case of CHD (Coronary heart disease) or CHD risk equivalents

• Risk factors include cigarette smoking, hypertension (BP≥140/90 mmHg or on antihypertensive medication), low HDL cholesterol (<40mg/dL), family history of premature CHD(CHD in male first-degree relative <55 years of age; CHD in female first-degree relative < 65 years of age), and age (men≥45 years; women ≥55 years). in case of HDL-C ≥60mg/dL, reduce 1 from the total number of risk factors.
• Electronic 10 year risk calculators are available at www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/cholesterol
• CHD includes history of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, coronary artery procedures (angioplasty or bypass surgery), or evidence of clinically significant myocardial ischemia.
• CHD risk equivalents include atherosclerotic disease (peripheral arterial disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm and carotid artery disease [transient ischemic attacks or stroke of carotid origin or >50% obstruction of a carotid artery]), diabetes and 2+ risk factors with 10 year risk of over 20%

5. Subject must be able to understand the trial procedures and be willing to cooperate and complete the trial.
