Background:Crestor, a cholesterol-lowering medication commonly prescribed for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, may be associated with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. The goal of the study was to evaluate the effects of a single daily dose of rosuvastatin (Crestor) versus an eight-week regimen of a placebo on the incidence of fatal and nonfatal MI and CHD, as well as fatal and nonfatal stroke. Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of patients randomized to receive a single daily dose of rosuvastatin (Crestor) plus placebo for 12 weeks. Patients were followed up by the same investigators for a year, with at least one additional year of follow-up. Results: The primary endpoint was the rate of death from any cause during follow-up. A total of 9,091 patients were randomized to rosuvastatin or a placebo. The primary endpoint of all-cause death was lower in the rosuvastatin group at follow-up compared to the placebo group, the difference being significant only for the composite of CHD death, MI or stroke. The overall rate of cardiovascular death was lower in the rosuvastatin group (27.2% [95% CI 22.7% to 37.0%];P=.001) compared to the placebo group. Similarly, there were fewer patients who developed MI or stroke in the rosuvastatin group (1.6% [95% CI 1.0% to 2.1%];=.07) compared to the placebo group.

Patients who received rosuvastatin or placebo were compared to those who did not (n=9,091) or who received an 8-week regimen of rosuvastatin (n=8,081) or placebo (n=9,081). The composite outcome of death, MI or stroke was significantly lower in the rosuvastatin group (n=7,631 [95% CI 3,0% to 11.7%];<.001). The incidence of CHD death, MI or stroke was significantly lower in the rosuvastatin group (n=8,081 [95% CI 4,0% to 10.6%];The composite outcome of death, MI or stroke was significantly lower in the rosuvastatin group (n=7,631 [95% CI 3.0% to 11.7%];<.001) compared to the placebo group. There was no difference in the composite outcome of death, MI or stroke between the three groups.Patients who received a single daily dose of rosuvastatin (Crestor) or a placebo were compared to patients who did not (n=9,081) or who received an 8-week regimen of rosuvastatin (n=9,081). Results: The rate of all-cause death was lower in the rosuvastatin group at follow-up compared to the placebo group, the difference being significant only for the composite of CHD death, MI or stroke.The overall rate of cardiovascular death was lower in the rosuvastatin group (7.1% [95% CI 3.6% to 10.6%];There was no difference in the rate of CHD death, MI or stroke between the three groups.
