VESALIUS-CV Trial : Evolocumab vs. Placebo in Patients Without Previous MI or Stroke

Compared with placebo, PCSK9 inhibition with evolocumab reduced the risk of first cardiovascular events among patients with atherosclerosis or diabetes and without a previous myocardial infarction or stroke, based on findings from the VESALIUS-CV trial presented at AHA 2025 and simultaneously published in NEJM.

This trial blurs the boundaries of distinction across the atherosclerosis continuum.”
