Doses of rosuvastatin, atorvastatin and simvastatin that induce equal reductions in LDL-C and non-HDL-C: Results from the VOYAGER meta-analysis
Conclusions
Regarding reductions in LDL-C and non-HDL-C, each rosuvastatin dose is equivalent to doses 3–3.5 times higher for atorvastatin and 7–8 times higher for simvastatin.
