Brief Summary: Patients with coronary artery disease CAD are often treated with dual antiplatelet therapy DAT including aspirin and clopidogrel to prevent from recurrent atherothrombotic events

Levels of platelet reactivity in patients on DAT can be influenced by concomitant treatment with medications that inhibit the CYP3A4 system involved in the activation of clopidogrel

Atorvastatin and simvastatin are metabolized by CYP3A4 Clin pharmacokinetic 2002 41 343-70 whereas the cytochrome P450 mediated metabolism of rosuvastatin appears to be minimal and principally mediated by the 2C9 isoenzyme with little involvement of CYP3A4 Clin Ther 2003 25 2822-5

Previous studies comparing atorvastatin versus rosuvastatin by means of ex vivo platelet function tests have yielded conflicting results
Detailed Description: At least 1 month after starting DAT clopidogrel 75 mg and aspirin 100 mg patients will receive randomly atorvastatin 20 mg day N50 or rosuvastatin 10 mg bid N50 for 30 days until T-1

At this time-point there will be a wash-out period of 15 days after the first treatment with atorvastatin or rosuvastatin in order to avoid any carry-over effect

Afterwards a cross-over will be performed and patients will be switched to the other drug which will be continued for further 30 days until T-2
