Lower On‐Treatment Low‐Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Women and Men: Pooled Analysis of 10 ODYSSEY Phase 3 Alirocumab Trials

Lower On‐Treatment Low‐Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Women and Men: Pooled Analysis of 10 ODYSSEY Phase 3 Alirocumab Trials

Background In statin trials, men and women derived similar relative risk reductions in cardiovascular events per 39 mg/dL low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) reduction. We explored whether lower LDL‐C levels and greater LDL‐C percentage reductions than those achieved with statins are associa...
