However, in an exploratory analysis of outcomes, treated patients had fewer heart attacks and heart-attack deaths than patients in the control group at six months, he said. People who have had a heart attack are at high risk for another one, especially during the next 90 days, Gibson said. ET / 14:45 UTC in Room B203.

As with elevated LDL-cholesterol, 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.
