Brief Summary

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

In ASCVD patients complicated with subclinical hypothyroidism, the percentage of those who did not reach the target of lipid-lowering therapy (LDL-C\>1.8mmol/L) is usually higher than that in population with normal thyroid function. The present study aims to randomly compare two lipid-lowering therapeutic strategies (statins only vs. statins combined with thyroid hormone supplement).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Pivastatin and placebo

After randomization, patients in Pivastatin + placebo group will receive pitavastatin and placebo.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Pitavastatin and placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

The initial dosage of pitavastatin is 2mg, and it will be regulated according to the level of LDL-C and the upper limit is 4mg.Since the investigators are blind to the arms,the fake regulation of placebo dosage will be same as the Pitavastatin and levothyroxine group.

Pivastatin and LT-4

After randomization, patients in combination group will receive pitavastatin as the lipid-lowering therapy and take levothyroxine as the thyroid hormone supplement.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pitavastatin and levothyroxine

Intervention Type DRUG

The initial dosage of pitavastatin is 2mg and the initial dosage of levothyroxine is 12.5ug. The dosage of levothyroxine will be regulated according to thyroid function test every 2-3 weeks. The regulation of pitavastatin dosage is same as the monotherapy group.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Male or non-pregnant female;
2. Stable or unstable angina with evidence of myocardial ischemia; coronary angiography reveals stenosis lesions;
3. Subclinical hypothyroidism defined as mild TSH elevation within 5-10mIU/L and normal serum thyroid hormone levels within reference ranges;
4. Level of LDL-C is more than 1.8mmol/L before randomization.
5. Participate in the trial voluntarily and signs the written informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Those who have participated in other drug or therapy equipment clinical trials but did not reach the main study endpoint time limit;
2. Symptoms of severe heart failure (NYHA Class III and above) or left ventricular ejection fraction \< 40% (ultrasound or left ventricle ngiography);
3. Pregnant or lactating women;
4. Complicated with severe organ dysfunction: large number of pericardial effusion; acute myocardial infarction; acute myocarditis; acute left heart failure; cardiogenic shock; severe arrhythmia, such as ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, frequent atrial / ventricular premature beat, poor control of fast ventricular fibrillation, and bradycardia requiring pacemaker therapy, etc.
5. Patients who are unable to withstand lipid-lowering therapy or thyroid hormone replacement due to allergy to statins or levothyroxine;
6. Serum AST/ALT is three times higher than the upper limits of normal.
7. Patient's life expectancy is less than 12 months;
8. Those waiting for heart transplantation;
9. Patients who are deemed by the researchers to have low compliance and unable to abide by the requirements and complete the study.
