Figure 1.
Changes in LDL levels in women (A) and men (B) as stratified by randomization treatment group from baseline to 30-days, 4-, 8-, 16-months, and final visit. A greater percent reduction in LDL was observed in the high-dose atorvastatin group as compared to the standard-dose pravastatin group at all follow-up time points (all p<0.0001). Changes in hs-CRP levels in women (C) and men (D) as stratified by randomization treatment group from baseline to 30-days, 4-month, and final visit. The hs-CRP levels were significantly lower in the high-dose atorvastatin than standard-dose pravastatin arm at all follow-up time points (all p≤0.003).
