  • * Risk factors include family history of CAD, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, or being a current smoker.

  • CKMB fraction and/or cardiac-specific troponin level.

  • All-cause mortality, new or recurrent MI, or severe recurrent ischemia requiring urgent revascularization through 14 days after randomization.

  • CAD, coronary artery disease; MI, myocardial infarction; CKMB, MB fraction of creatine kinase.
