Design outcomes
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints are 1. A composite of cardiovascular mortality and non-fatal acute coronary syndrome only; 2. A composite of cardiovascular mortality, non-fatal acute coronary syndrome and all coronary revascularizations (including staged/planned procedures); 3. A composite of cardiovascular mortality, non-fatal acute coronary syndrome, unplanned coronary revascularization, re-hospitalization for angina or stroke. | — |
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary determinants ('study parameters'): biomarkers of vascular inflammation, plaque instability and hypercoagulability The primary endpoint is a composite of cardiovascular mortality , non-fatal acute coronary syndrome or unplanned coronary revascularization due to progressive angina pectoris during 1-year follow-up. | — |
