Similar major cardiovascular outcomes between pure statin and ezetimibe-statin in comparable intensity for type 2 diabetes with extremely atherosclerotic risks

Abstract Atorvastatin 40 mg (ATOR 40) and ezetimibe 10 mg/simvastatin 20 mg (EZ-SIM 20) have similar reductions of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) but cardiovascular (CV) outcomes between these two therapies are unclear. Our real-world cohort study is to test the hypothesis of pleiotropi...
