Proportional hazards models adjusted for stratification factors and ApoA-1.

Hazard ratio is the increase in risk of an increase of one standard deviation.

Test for heterogeneity of treatment effect across values.

ERN = Extended-release niacin; CI = confidence interval; Int. = Interaction between randomization assignment and value
