Comparison of Antiplatelet and Anti-inflammatory Effects of High Dose Statin Monotherapy Versus Moderate Dose Statin Plus Ezetimibe
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Simvastatin 80 mg/day for 6 weeks and Ezetimibe 10 mg / Simvastatin 20 mg for Stable Angina. Completed, enrolled 78 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Among patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD), it is not clear if the pleiotropic effects of cholesterol reduction differ between high-dose simvastatin alone and combined ezetimibe/simvastatin. The investigators sought to compare the anti-inflammatory and anti-platelet effects of ezetimibe 10 mg / simvastatin 20 mg (E10/S20) to simvastatin 80 mg (S80).
