† Evaluating the Residual Risk of Recurrent Cardiovascular Events in Contemporary Cardiovascular Outcomes Trials

Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) remain at high risk of recurrent cardiovascular (CV) events despite secondary preventative measures. This risk is further elevated among those who develop acute coronary syndrome (ACS), where recurrent events are significantly higher compared with the general population. In addition to traditional risk factors, this residual risk results, at least in part, from residual pro-inflammatory and metabolic risk factors.
