Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: High Risk
Atorvastatin calcium 10, 20, 40, or 80 mg tablets (dose dependent on individual risk factors and baseline LDL-C level) once daily for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks of treatment, subjects who did not achieve the LDL-C target goal were up-titrated to 20, 40, or 80 mg and subjects who achieved their LDL-target goal remained on the same dose for the following 4 weeks.
EXPERIMENTAL: Low Risk
Atorvastatin calcium 10, 20, 40, or 80 mg tablets (dose dependent on individual risk factors and baseline LDL-C level) once daily for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks of treatment, subjects who did not achieve the LDL-C target goal were up-titrated to 20, 40, or 80 mg and subjects who achieved their LDL-target goal remained on the same dose for the following 4 weeks.
EXPERIMENTAL: Medium Risk
Atorvastatin calcium 10, 20, 40, or 80 mg tablets (dose dependent on individual risk factors and baseline LDL-C level) once daily for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks of treatment, subjects who did not achieve the LDL-C target goal were up-titrated to 20, 40, or 80 mg and subjects who achieved their LDL-target goal remained on the same dose for the following 4 weeks.
