NCT01490229

Brief Summary

Pharmacologic alternatives in statin-intolerant patients include ezetimibe and nutraceuticals (i.e. compounds derived from foods with cholesterol lowering actions). The investigators will compare the efficacy and tolerability of ezetimibe versus a nutraceutical-based protocol in statin-intolerant patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention.
