Study #2
Are you still at risk for Heart Attack or Stroke?
Recent research suggests that a simple blood test may show inflammation of the arteries, which may be an early indicator of cardiovascular disease, even in people with low to normal cholesterol.
A local doctor is conducting a research trial to evaluate if an experimental drug will lower the risk of heart attack or stroke.
Qualifications for the study include:
- Men must be 55 years old or older
- Women must be 65 years or older
- No previous history of heart attack or stroke
- Low to normal LDL (bad) cholesterol
Qualified participants will receive study related medical evaluations and may receive study medicine.

All qualified participants will receive:
- Study-related physical exams
- Electrocardiograms (ECG)
- Therapeutic Lifestyle Change counseling (nutrition and exercise instruction)
- Laboratory tests and study drug
