Cardiovascular Diseases Research Study

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to a group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, leading to heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral artery disease. In 2021 alone, 695,000 people in the United States died from heart disease. Risk factors for CVD include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle

Hightower assessed the efficacy of an investigational drug in lowering cardiovascular events in individuals who have recently experienced atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
