Summary

This study follows over 5,000 people with stable heart disease who were previously treated with either an invasive approach (like stents or bypass surgery) plus medications, or medications alone. Researchers want to see which strategy leads to fewer deaths from heart problems or other causes over 10 years. The goal is to give patients and doctors clearer information on the best long-term treatment plan.
