Conditions
Keywords
the Achilles tendon, intima-media thickness
Brief summary
To evaluate the effect of concomitant administration of Probucol and Cilostazol (based on Atorvastatin treatment) on the atherosclerosis related markers (including the thickness of the Achilles tendon) in severe hypercholesterolemia subject, through the observation of the thickness of the Achilles tendon, the thickness of mean carotid intima-media, anti-oxidation biomarkers and serum lipid profile.
