Major heart study: can common drugs stop heart attacks before they start?

NCT ID NCT06676280

Summary

This large study aims to find out if taking daily aspirin and/or a high-dose statin medication can prevent heart attacks, strokes, and other serious heart problems in people who have a high amount of calcium buildup in their heart arteries but no current symptoms. It will enroll 5,000 adults aged 40-70 with a high coronary calcium score and at least one other heart disease risk factor. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one or both of these common medications to see which combination best prevents future heart events.
