Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Pitavastatin 1 mg daily Drug: Pitavastatin 1 mg daily or 4 mg daily
Patients who met all inclusion criteria and did not meet exclusion criteria (1) are entered in run-in period, loading pitavastatin 1 mg/day for more than 1 month when informed consent was given. (Primary registration) After 1 month, patients who did not meet exclusion criteria(2) are randomized to take pitavastatin 1 mg/day or 4 mg/day.
Other Name: LIVALO Tablet
Active Comparator: Pitavastatin 4 mg daily Drug: Pitavastatin 1 mg daily or 4 mg daily
Patients who met all inclusion criteria and did not meet exclusion criteria (1) are entered in run-in period, loading pitavastatin 1 mg/day for more than 1 month when informed consent was given. (Primary registration) After 1 month, patients who did not meet exclusion criteria(2) are randomized to take pitavastatin 1 mg/day or 4 mg/day.
Other Name: LIVALO Tablet

Detailed Description:
It was already demonstrated by previous clinical trials that statins lower the incidence of death and cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease. However, whether aggressive cholesterol lowering therapy, using high dosage of statins, is more effective than moderate cholesterol lowering therapy for the prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease has not been studied in Japan.
  Eligibility
Ages Eligible for Study:   20 Years to 79 Years   (Adult, Senior)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
