Summary

The primary objective was to evaluate the effect of treatment with evolocumab, compared with placebo, on the risk for cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, or coronary revascularization, whichever occurs first, in patients with clinically evident cardiovascular disease.
