An Open-label, Single-centre Randomized Study Evaluating the Effect of Treatment With Rosuvastatin 5/20mg on Atherosclerotic Disease as Measured by High-Resolution Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease and Hyperlipideimia
An Open-label, Single-centre Randomized Study Evaluating the Effect of Treatment With Rosuvastatin 5/20mg on Atherosclerotic Disease as Measured by High-Resolution Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease and Hyperlipideimia
The aim of this study is to assess whether high intensive statin therapy could regress carotid atherosclerotic plaques as determined by High-Resolution Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance imaging (CE-MRI).
Enrolled patients have a baseline CE-MRI examination for screening carotid atherosclerotic plaques and are randomized to either low dose of Rosuvastatin (5mg) group or high dose of Rosuvastatin (20mg) group. After 26 weeks, all patients received CE-MRI examination again and each pair of baseline and follow-up CE-MRI assessments was analyzed in a blinded fashion. Moreover, lipid level and major adverse cardiovascular events are also evaluated during follow-up.
Inclusion Criteria:
-Patients with coronary artery disease or carotid atherosclerotic plaque or hyperlipideimia or old myocardial infarction
