Heart


Heart attack is a major cause of death in modern society. Aim is to check if test drug reduces primary response. It is also of interest to check whether drug causes improvement in LDL and HDL levels relative to placebo. Possible role of age and sex needs to be taken into account. Similar comments apply to diabetes and hypertension.
