Summary

This trialstudies if a cholesterol-lowering medication can reduce heart attack, stroke and death in people hospitalized for a heart attack.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who are hospitalized due to a heart attack (NSTEMI or STEMI) presumed to be caused by plaque buildup in the arteries. It's not open to those needing intensive support like pumps or drugs for blood pressure at screening, or if their heart damage isn't due to artery issues.
What is being tested?
The EVOLVE-MI study tests whether giving Evolocumab with standard cholesterol management right after a heart attack is better than just routine care alone. The goal is to see if this can reduce further heart attacks, strokes, surgeries on arteries, and deaths.
What are the potential side effects?
Evolocumab may cause reactions where it's injected, flu-like symptoms, back pain, high blood pressure episodes, and allergic reactions. Side effects vary from person to person.
