Abstract
The clinical and biochemical determinants of the fibrinogen response to simvastatin or atorvastatin therapy were assessed in 130 patients with severe polygenic or familial hypercholesterolemia treated in a randomized open-trial format design. Hyperfibrinogenemia was associated with atorvastatin, baseline fibrinogen, and initial concentration and change in concentration of apolipoprotein B or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.Entities:
