Results are expressed as hazard ratio versus placebo (with 95% confidence interval). *, combined to cardiovascular mortality; **, with history of HF (11.3% of patients) (HR 0.61; 95% CI, 0.71–0.84; P<0.0001) versus without history of HF (HR 0.79; 95% CI, 0.71–0.88, P<0.0001). HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; ASCVD, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; CVOT, cardiovascular outcome trial; hHF, hospitalisation for heart failure; MACE-3 points, major cardiovascular events-3 points (cardiovascular mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke); NT, not tested because of prespecified hierarchical sequence.
