Sponsor:	AstraZeneca
Information provided by:	AstraZeneca
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00683618

Purpose

This trial is to compare the efficacy,safety and tolerability of rosuvastatin with atorvastatin by assessing the change fof LDL-C in patients with hypercholesterolemia and history of coronary heart disease or risk equivalent, or a 10 year CHD risk of no less than 10%, following 6-week treatment and a possible 6 week extension treatment.
