HPS: Heart Protection Study- RESULTS -
All-cause mortality in simvastatin group significantly reduced compared with placebo ( vs. %, P<); reduction was attributed largely to significant reduction in coronary death:
Other vascular death reduced but with marginal significance
Nonvascular death reduced but not significantly
First major vascular event rate significantly reduced, as were the individual event rates (fatal/nonfatal MI, fatal/nonfatal stroke, and revascularization)
No difference in new cancers ( vs %, rate ratio , P=) except nonmelanoma skin cancer ( vs %)
No difference in withdrawal due to myopathy (% in both groups)
