Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percent Change From Baseline in Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) After Switching to Treatment With Ezetimibe/Simvastatin vs Doubling the Dose of Statin (Simvastatin or Atorvastatin).
Baseline and Week 6
Percentage of Patients Achieving a Target of Fasting LDL-C of <2mmol/l at Study End
6 Weeks

Fasting LDL-C was the primary efficacy variable. The primary efficacy analysis was based on the proportion of patients achieving a target of \<2mmol/l in fasting LDL-C at study end.

Percent Change in Low Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (LDL-C) at Study Endpoint After Six Weeks of Treatment
Baseline and 6 weeks

Percent Change in LDL-C at study endpoint after six weeks of treatment is calculated as the difference between week 6 measure and baseline measure divided by baseline measure \*100.

Percent Change From Baseline in Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL-C) at Week 6
Baseline and 6 Weeks
Evaluate the hypolipidemic effect of Vytorin after 4 weeks treatment in adult patients with mix dislipidemia to reduce the cardiovascular risk and achieve the ATP-III goals.
After 4 weeks treatment
Plasma LDL-C.
Number of Participants That Experienced One or More Components of the Composite Clinical Endpoint of MCE (Major Cardiovascular Events)
Entire follow-up (median = 4.35 years)

Composite endpoint of MCE consists of cardiovascular death, AVR (aortic valve replacement) surgery, CHF(congestive heart failure) as a result of progression of aortic stenosis, nonfatal MI (myocardial infarction), CABG (coronary artery bypass) surgery, PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention), hospitalized unstable angina, and nonhemorrhagic stroke

Secondary Endpoints

In Participants Treated With Simvastatin at Baseline, Percent Change From Baseline in LDL-C After Switching to Treatment With Ezetimibe/Simvastatin vs Doubling the Dose of Simvastatin
Baseline and Week 6
In Participants Treated With Atorvastatin at Baseline, Percent Change From Baseline in LDL-C After Switching to Treatment With Ezetimibe/Simvastatin vs Doubling the Dose of Atorvastatin
