Figure 2.

Scatterplots of apoB versus LDL-C at baseline (A) and following treatment with ERN/LRPT, pooled SIMVA, or pooled ERN/LRPT + SIMVA (B). The upper thresholds for the less-stringent LDL-C <2.59 mmol/L and apoB <0.9 g/L goals are denoted by horizontal and vertical lines, respectively. Right lower quadrant in Figure 2B shows the subjects who met LDL-C goal <2.59 mmol/L but did not reach apoB goal <0.9 g/L after treatment.

Abbreviations: apoB, apolipoprotein B; ERN, extended-release niacin; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LRPT, laropiprant; SIMVA, simvastatin.
