Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Clinical indication for coronary angiography

- Angiographic evidence of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), as defined by at least 1
lesion in a native coronary artery that has >20% reduction in lumen diameter by visual
estimation

- Left main coronary artery must have <=50% reduction in lumen diameter by visual
estimation

- LDL-C >100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L) for patients with no statin therapy in the past 4 weeks;
LDL-C >80mg/dL (2.08mmol/L) for patients on therapy in the past 4 weeks
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
75 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
- Use of certain lipid-lowering medication for more than 3 months within the previous 12
months. Longer periods of treatment are not permitted because of the potential effects
of such therapy on coronary atherosclerosis.

- Patients who have symptoms consistent with moderate or greater severity of Congestive
Heart Failure (CHF).

- Clinically significant heart disease which, in the opinion of the Principal
Investigator (or designee), is likely to require coronary bypass surgery, cardiac
transplantation, surgical repair and/or replacement during the course of the study
