First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two high-dose statin/ezetimibe combinations (rosuvastatin/ezetimibe vs. atorvastatin/ezetimibe) in 200 adults who have received a drug-eluting stent for coronary artery disease. The goal is to see which combo better maintains LDL cholesterol below 55 mg/dL over a year and causes fewer side effects like muscle pain or liver issues. Participants must be 19 or older and have had a new-generation stent placed.
