Eliminate Coronary Artery Disease (ECAD)
May 27, 2022 updated by: Michael Farkouh, University Health Network, Toronto
The purpose of this study is to determine whether pharmacologic lowering of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), initiated in healthy young to middle aged adults can eliminate or markedly reduce the composite endpoint of incident all cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke or coronary revascularization.
