Inflammation and Cholesterol Predicting Cardiovascular Events

This study explores how inflammation and cholesterol levels predict cardiovascular events among 13,970 statin-intolerant patients in the CLEAR Outcomes trial. Findings suggest residual inflammatory risk may be a stronger predictor than residual cholesterol risk for future events. The research analyz
