Scientific titleInfluence of Atorvastatin on coronary calcifications and myocardial perfusion defects in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus patients: a prospective, randomised, double-masked, placebo-controlled study
Study acronymAtorvastatin-SLE
Study objectivesThis study was conducted to determine the effect of atorvastatin treatment on multidetector computed tomography (MDCT)-based coronary calcium scoring and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)-assessed myocardial perfusion abnormalities in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients free of cardiovascular disease clinical symptoms.
Ethics approval(s)Ethical Committee of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland, approved on the 12th January 2006 (ref: KBET/2/L/2006)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedSystemic lupus erythematosus
InterventionAtorvastatin treatment (40 mg/day) versus placebo. Total duration of treatment: 1 year. One year follow-up period.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhasePhase IV
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Atorvastatin
Primary outcome measureMeasured at 0 and 12 months:
1. Calcium deposits in coronary arteries
2. Number of myocardial left ventricle segments with perfusion defects
Secondary outcome measuresMeasured at 0, 3, 6, 12 months:
