Atmeg (Atorvastatin and Omega-3 Combination) and Carotid Atherosclerosis in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Combined Dyslipidemia

October 1, 2022 updated by: Soo Lim, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital

Effect of Atorvastatin and Omega 3 Combination Therapy on Carotid Atherosclerosis Estimated by 3D Ultrasound in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Combined Dyslipidemia

This is a randomized controlled study to assess the effect of atorvastatin and omega 3 combination therapy compared with atorvastatin and ezetimibe combination therapy in Korean T2DM patients with asymptomatic atherosclerosis.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In patients with type 2 diabetes with atherosclerotic combined dyslipidemia, the effect of atorvastatin and omega 3 combination on the progression of carotid intima media thickness and carotid artery plaque will be evaluated by 3D carotid ultrasound.
