Study Arms (2)

1

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Subjects are receiving Pitavastatin, starting at 2 mg, for 12 months. After administration, serum LDL-cholesterol should be kept between 100 and 80 mg/dL by controlling the dose of Pitavastatin or adding other anti-hyperlipidemia agents other than statins.

Drug: Pitavastatin

2

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Subjects are receiving Pitavastatin, starting at 4 mg, for 12 months. After administration, serum LDL-cholesterol should be kept under 80 mg/dL by controlling the dose of Pitavastatin or adding other anti-hyperlipidemia agents other than statins.

Drug: Pitavastatin

Interventions

comparison of different target levels of lipid lowering using Pitavastatin Subjects are receiving Pitavastatin, starting at 2 mg, for 12 months.
