Summary
This study compares a comprehensive program of lifestyle changes, cholesterol-lowering drugs, and PET heart scans against standard medical care for people with stable coronary artery disease. About 1,085 adults aged 40 and older with suspected or known heart disease are participating. The goal is to see if the combined approach reduces the risk of heart attacks, death, and the need for procedures like stents or bypass surgery.
