The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of CYP3A polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics of Atorvastatin in Chinese subjects with coronary heart disease.
Large variability exists in the individual response to statins. CYP3A polymorphisms likely contribute to variable response to those drugs primarily metabolized by CYP3A including atorvastatin.

The subjects will receive atorvastatin (20 mg single dose) orally with approximately 240 ml of water. Blood samples(4 mL) will be taken prior to dosing and at 0.33, 0.66, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 24 and 48 h after drug administration.
