A Study to Determine the Degree of Additional Reduction in CV Risk in Lowering LDL Below Minimum Target Levels - Full Text View

Purpose

The primary objective of this study is to determine the degree of additional reduction in cardiovascular risk that was accrued to patients by lowering their LDL-C beyond the currently accepted minimum target level for patients with pre-existing CHD. Secondary objectives include the safety profile of this treatment strategy, its cost-effectiveness, effect on other atherosclerotic-related events and procedures, and total mortality.

Primary Outcome Measures:

The primary outcome is the time to occurrence of a major
cardiovascular event, defined as the composite outcome of the
following clinical endpoints
CHD death
Non-fatal/Non-procedure related MI
Resuscitated cardiac arrest or fatal/non-fatal stroke

Secondary Outcome Measures:

The occurrence of the following clinical events
Major coronary event (CHD death, non fatal myocardial infarction or resuscitated cardiac arrest)
any coronary event (major coronary event or CABG
PTCA, other revascularization procedure, procedure-related myocardial infarction, or documented angina)
cerebrovascular event (fatal or non fatal stroke, TIA)
peripheral vascular disease; hospitalization with primary diagnosis' of CHF
any cardiovascular event (any of the above); and all-cause mortality.
