  • *Primary endpoint defined as death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, prolonged ventricular arrhythmia or admission for angina or heart failure.

  • †Secondary endpoint defined as death, non-fatal myocardial infarction or prolonged ventricular arrhythmia.

  • ‡0.2 μg/l equals the 99th centile of the lower limit of quantification.

  • ¶Hazard ratios (HR) and confidence intervals (CI) could not be estimated as only five patients were not on a statin and seven patients were not on aspirin and none of these patients had an endpoint qualifying event.
