III) when response to diet

Atorvastatin also raises HDL-cholesterol and lowers the LDL/HDL and
total 
cholesterol/HDL ratios. 

Atorvastatin is also indicated to reduce total-C and LDL-C in

for coronary heart disease such as age  55 years, male sex,
smoking, left ventricular 
hypertrophy, other specified abnormalities on ECG,
