Repatha cut by 20 percent the combined risk of having either a heart attack, stroke or a heart-related death. That happened to nearly 6 percent of people on Repatha versus more than 7 percent on the dummy drug.
So, placebo had a more widespread effect. ...and how was the cut in risk measured if not by number of people having an effect?
Ah...the 6% vs. 7% is the portion that had the heart attack or stroke, or heart-related death.
agreed - big pharma is a racket
my doc prescribed some statins 15 years ago. I nicely told him I ignore his reccomendation.
latest blood work

HDH - 45
real food and physical activity beat drugs -always
A 20 percent cut in 6 percent of people taking it.. I agree, it’s placebo or random error rate. How about patient with a multi-generations history of cardiac related mortality? Sensationalized statistics to give people the false hope they will have this very minute outcome.
