Summary
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of intensive cholesterol lowering therapy and
tight blood pressure (BP) regulation on endothelial function (inner cell layer of vessels
that determines dilatation) in type 2 diabetic patients without documented cardiovascular
(CV) disease. The hypothesis is that intensive cholesterol lowering and tight blood pressure
regulation will due better than a control group.
