• Overall Risk of Death 30% Only trial to date with cholesterol lowering agent to definitivelyshow reduction in total or coronary mortality
• Risk of Coronary Death 42% Cardiovascular disease is the world’s leading cause of deathaccounting for one-fourth of all deaths
• Risk of Major CoronaryEvents 34%
Includes death from coronary disease and non-fatal heart attacks
• Risk of RevascularizationProcedures 37%
Includes percutaneous coronary angioplasties (PTCA) and coronaryartery bypass grafts (CABG).
• Event - free Survival 26% Finished the study without suffering any coronary events or otheratheroscleotic events such as stroke
• LDL Cholesterol38%*
Human atherosclerotic plaques primarily contain LDL cholesterol
• HDL Cholesterol8%*
High concentrations of HDL may protect against coronary heartdisease.
• Total Cholesterol28%*
Simvastatin is the most effective cholesterol-lowering agent availableat recommended doses
