Heart attack prevention: is lower cholesterol always better?
NCT ID NCT04626973
Summary
This study tested whether aiming for very low 'bad' cholesterol (LDL) levels is better than standard low levels for people with heart disease. Over 3,000 participants were randomly assigned to either a very low target or a standard target, using either a single cholesterol drug or a two-drug combination. The main goal was to see which approach better prevented serious heart problems like heart attacks, strokes, or death from heart disease.
