The primary purpose of the study was to evaluate 4000 subjects with acute coronary syndrome by comparing pravastatin 40 mg to atorvastatin 80 mg to determine if they are clinically equivalent, and to evaluate the effectiveness of gatifloxacin therapy in reducing cardiovascular events in combination with statin therapy.
