N Engl J Med 2004;350: patients hospitalized for ACS within previous 10 days, TC 240 mg/dL (200 mg/dL if on lipid Rx) Randomized to pravastatin 40 mg (standard therapy) or atorvastatin 80 mg (intensive therapy) Primary endpoint: composite of death, MI, unstable angina requiring rehospitalization, revascularization (at least 30 days after randomization), and stroke Follow-up: 18–36 months (mean, 24)
