Filter by:- Clinical studies with statins have shown that patients that suffered a cardiovascular event have a high residual risk. Residual risk decreases with the attaining of progressive lower LDL-C levels. - In patients treated with statins, HDL-C level is an independent inverse predictor of subsequent CV and coronary plaque progression, even when LDL-C levels are less than 70 mg/dL. - Therefore the purpose on this study is to assess the lipid efficacy on lipid profile and effects on HDL-C metabolism and function of the extended release niacin/laropiprant combination added to usual therapy in very high risk patients with cardiovascular disease and low HDL-C that did not achieve the optional very low LDL-C or non-HDL-C goals
The purpose of this study is to compare rates and risk of primary cardiovascular events among elderly patients newly initiating therapy with atorvastatin or simvastatin. The specific objectives for this project are to: 1) examine the demographic and clinical characteristics of the elderly patients in whom atorvastatin or simvastatin was newly initiated; and 2) compare cardiovascular event rates in elderly patients in whom atorvastatin or simvastatin was newly initiated.
A 12-Week, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study.
This study is being done to find out if tablets containing extended release (ER) niacin, laropiprant, and simvastatin (ERN/LRPT/SIM) are as effective as tablets containing ER niacin and laropiprant taken with simvastatin tablets (ERN/LRPT + SIM) for lowering high cholesterol and high lipid levels in the blood. The primary hypothesis is that ERN/LRPT/SIM 2 g/40 mg is equivalent to ERN/LRPT 2 g co-administered with simvastatin 40 mg in reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).
The purpose of study to assess the control of dyslipidemia in the Indian diabetic population treated with any hypolipidemic agent.
The primary goal of the trial is to test the feasibility and efficacy of a cardiovascular disease quality improvement system that couples EMR-based patient identification with individually tailored patient messages. The study will test the hypothesis that that a tailored patient-directed approach to cardiovascular risk reduction integrated into patients' primary care delivery site will improve control of elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and other card iac risk factors more than routine care alone for patients at intermediate or high risk for cardiovascular disease.
There will be no significant differences in the efficacy and tolerability between the test and reference formulations of atorvastatin 20 mg in these Korean adults with primary hypercholesterolemia.
Evaluate the effectiveness of motivational interviewing to improve lipid control and cardiovascular risk in patients with dyslipidemia.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in participants with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia, and elevated low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) to assess the efficacy and safety of extended release (ER) niacin/laropiprant [ERN/LRPT (MK-0524A)] when added to the following ongoing lipid-modifying therapy (LMT): simvastatin, atorvastatin, rosuvastatin monotherapy, ezetimibe/simvastatin fixed dose combination (FDC), or any statin co-administered with ezetimibe. The study is based on the hypothesis that ERN/LRPT 2 g daily will be superior to placebo at lowering LDL-C at Week 12 of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of GFT505 80mg in reducing serum Triglycerides (TG) and increasing High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) levels compared with placebo in atherogenic dyslipidaemic patients with abdominal obesity, and to assess the tolerability and safety of once-a-day administrations of oral doses of GFT505 during 28 days.
