• (3) Statin-naïve patient, defined as receiving no statin therapy for more than 3 months during the previous 12 months, with LDL-C ≥ 160 mg/dL, LDL-C < 250 mg/dL, and TG < 400 mg/dL at Week -2
• Subject with both angina pectoris and hypercholesterolemia must meet the following (1), and the following (2) or (3):
• (1) Subjects who take Amlodipine 2.5mg/day or 5mg/day at least 28 days before Week -2, and who meet the following criteria; Subjects with well controlled BP value (BP value < 140/90mmHg at Week 0), and subjects with clinically stable of angina pectoris
