Although atherosclerosis is characterized by an increase in arterial wall thickness, formation of atheroma, and arterial stiffening, most studies on vascular effects of statins have not been focused on arterial stiffness. Arterial stiffness can be evaluated by the measurement of pulse wave velocity (PWV), augmentation index (AI), and central aortic pressure that reflects an increase in AI caused by arterial stiffening. Thus, the present study was designed to investigate effects of pitavastatin on PWV, AI, and central aortic pressure in patients with coronary artery disease.
Efficacy
Changes in brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV), AI, and central aortic pressure
Changes in lipid profile, malondialdehyde-modified (MDA)-LDL, apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein A-I

EISODE is a 12-months, prospective, randomized, open, blinded-endpoint (PROBE) study. Patients with coronary artery disease and increased LDL-cholesterol are enrolled and anti-dyslipidemic medications are either started on or switched to pitavastatin (1 mg/day) monotherapy. After a 4-week run-in period, baseline evaluations are performed. Then, patients are assigned to receive pitavastatin (4 mg/day) for 12 months. In cases that LDL-cholesterol levels do not reach the target level (<100mg/dL), antidyslipidemic drugs other than statins are prescribed to achieve the target level.
After a 4-week run-in period, baseline evaluations are performed. Then, patients are assigned to receive pitavastatin (1 mg/day) for another 12 months. In cases that LDL-cholesterol levels do not reach the target level (<100mg/dL), antidyslipidemic drugs other than statins are prescribed to achieve the target level.
