Atorvastatin Versus Revascularization Treatments

Pitt B, Waters D, Brown WV et al. Aggressive lipid-lowering therapy compared with angioplasty in stable coronary artery disease. Atorvastatin versus Revascularization Treatment Investigators, N Engl J Med 1999 341 70-76. [Pg.168]

Atorvastatin, one of the most potent statins available, was used in the Atorvastatin Versus Revascularization Treatments (AVERT) study (29). This study randomized 341 patients with CAD to atorvastatin 80 mg/day vs angioplasty plus usual care. The mean LDL cholesterol in the atorvastatin group was 77 mg/dL compared to 119 mg/dL in the angioplasty group. Therapy with atorvastatin was associated with a significantly longer time to first ischemic event, which corresponded to a risk reduction of 36%. [Pg.65]
