Non-lipid biomarker levels at time of randomization.^a

Values are median (range). Atv is atorvastatin, HMW is high molecular weight, hsCRP is high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, Lp-PLA2 is lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2, MCP-1 is monocyte chemotactic protein-1, MMP-9 is matrix metalloproteinase-9, MPO is myeloperoxidase, Nt-pro-BNP is N-terminal fragment of pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, sRAGE is soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products, sCD40L is soluble CD40 ligand, sICAM-1 is soluble intercellular adhesion molecule, and sVCAM-1 is soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1. aAt the time of randomization, all participants had been on 10 mg atorvastatin for at least 8 weeks. bP-value for patients who experienced an event versus those who did not in the biomarker subgroup.
