Mean (SD) Cortisol Levels, ACTH Levels and Cortisol:ACTH Ratio in the Chinese Population at Baseline and Week 12 and by Minimum Postbaseline LDL‐C. A, Cortisol levels; B, cortisol levels in the evolocumab group. C, ACTH levels; D, ACTH levels in the evolocumab group; E, cortisol:ACTH ratio; F, cortisol:ACTH ratio in the evolocumab group.
