High levels of triglycerides and the lipid particles on which they are carried in the blood can contribute to the formation of “plaques” in the arteries that impede blood flow and can lead to heart attacks and strokes. A total of 229 patients (average age 55 years, 78% men and 90% White) were enrolled in the trial in eight countries.
