Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Achievement of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target of <115 mg/dL
Week 52
Secondary Outcomes (7)
Achievement of LDL-C target and total cholesterol target (<190 mg/dL) concomitantly
Week 52
LDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels
Baseline and Week 6 for base study; Baseline and Weeks 17, 34, and 52 for extension study
Percent change from baseline of base study in LDL-C, HDL-C, non-HDL-C (triglycerides of >200 mg/dL), total cholesterol, and triglycerides in patients who were statin-naive at baseline of base study
Baseline and Weeks 17, 34, and 52
Achievement of LDL-C target grouped according to whether patients had achieved target at the start of this extension study
Week 52
Adverse events and laboratory test changes
Weeks 17, 34, and 52

Study Arms (1)
Arm A
EXPERIMENTALInterventions
Atorvastatin tablets at starting doses of 10, 20, 40, or 80 mg once daily. Three dose adjustments were allowed at baseline, Week 17, and Week 34. Patients who did not meet the LDL-C target at any of these time points had their doses doubled except for those who were on the 80 mg dose. Treatment was given for 52 weeks.
