Purpose
Carotid ultrasound can reveal the intima-media complex thickness(IMT), that has been reported to be a marker of atherosclerosis as well as a risk of cardiovascular events, and to be attenuated by 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) . This substudy of J-STARS will observe the temporal profile of carotid IMT prospectively in the patients with prescription of pravastatin and the control.
