Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare efficacy of treatment by ezetimibe (EZ), starting doses of statins and their combination on lipids and arterial wall function in patients with documented coronary heart disease and dyslipidemia in 24 weeks’ randomized controlled trial.

Methods: 60 patients (32 men, 28 women, age 61±8) were randomized into 4 groups with equal number of pts (n=15). In each group pts received drugs as monotherapy: EZ 10mg, simvastatin 10mg, atorvastatin 10mg, rosuvastatin 10mg. After 12 weeks, if LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) level was more than 2,5mmol/l in statins monotherapy treatment, EZ 10 mg was added. LDL-C, stiffness parameter β, compliance (CC) and distensibility (DC) coefficients were determined by high-resolution ultrasound before and after 12 and 24 weeks of treatment. For analysis pts was reform in 3 groups: 1 - pts taken only EZ (n=15), 2 - pts taken only statins (n=19), 3 - pts taken combination statins and EZ (n=24).

Results: After 12 and 24 weeks of treatment the level of LDL-C significantly decreased in all groups. Stiffness, CC and DC also was significantly changed (in table below, % changes from baseline).

Conclusions: Arterial stiffness, compliance and distensibility are significantly changed after 12 and 24 weeks of treatment in all groups. We did not find significantly intergroup differences of theses parameters.
