668The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Rosuvastatin 5 mg as an hypercholesterolemia treatment comparatively at 2 other statins: Pravastatin 40 mg and Atorvastatin 10 mg. Treatment efficacy will be evaluated by the percentage of LDL-C variation after 8 weeks of treatment.

Inclusion Criteria: subjects presenting type IIa or IIb primary hypercholesterolaemia diagnosed for at least 3 months, in a context of primary prevention with at least two associated cardiovascular risk factors and: (i)either "naive" to all lipid-lowering therapy, (ii)or treated with a statin (treatment ongoing or stopped during the previous 8 weeks) Exclusion Criteria: homozygous or heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia hypertriglyceridaemia (TG ≥ 4 g/l) subjects at high cardiovascular risk according to the AFSSAPS 2005 definition (coronary artery disease or history of documented vascular disease, high cardiovascular risk type 2 diabetes, subject in primary prevention with a 10-year CHD risk > 20%) history of adverse events or hypersensitivity to an HMG Co-A reductase inhibitor (particularly a history of myopathy) concomitant use of any drugs not authorized during the study active liver disease with elevation of serum transaminases (ASAT, ALAT) more than twice the upper limit of normal CPK more than 3 times the upper limit of normal moderate or severe renal failure (creatinine clearance < 6 ml/min) poorly controlled hypothyroidism; poorly controlled hypertension (DBP > 95 mm Hg and/or SBP > 180 mm Hg)

Compare the percentage of HDL-C (High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol) variation taking baseline value as a reference and after 8 weeks of treatment. As the recruitment target was not reached at the date initially planned, and in view of the recruitment difficulties, AstraZeneca decided not to extend the patient recruitment period and to perform only a descriptive analysis of the data
To Compare the percentage of variation from baseline Apolipoprotein B/Apolipoprotein A1 ratio and after 8 weeks of treatment.

To Compare numbers of patients achieving the LDL-C goal according to the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP). As the recruitment target was not reached at the date initially planned, and in view of the recruitment difficulties, AstraZeneca decided not to extend the patient recruitment period and to perform only a descriptive analysis of the data. The percentage of patients achieving the NCEP-ATP III LDL-C goal. ATP III is categorized into 3 risk categories:(1) established CHD and CHD risk equivalents(2) multiple risk factors(3) zero to one (0-1) risk factor
