Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate the effects of different statins on endothelial dysfunction, administered at doses characterized by equally effective lipid-lowering in patients with coronary artery disease.;Secondary Objective: incidence of major cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, need for coronary revascularization, unplanned, stroke) at a mean follow-up of 4 weeks; evaluation of the variation of C-reactive protein compared to baseline; reaching the target value of LDL cholesterol , represented by the threshold value of 70 mg / dl, in the various treatment arms.;Primary end point(s): change compared to baseline, markers of endothelial dysfunction (ADMA, FMD and NMD);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 WEEKS | — |
