BACKGROUND In time-to-first-event analyses, icosapent ethyl significantly reduced the risk of ischemic events, including cardiovascular death, among patients with elevated triglycerides receiving statins. These patients are at risk for not only first but also subsequent ischemic events.OBJECTIVES Pre-specified analyses determined the extent to which icosapent ethyl reduced total ischemic events.METHODS REDUCE-IT (Reduction of Cardiovascular Events with Icosapent Ethyl-Intervention Trial) randomized 8,179 statin-treated patients with triglycerides >= 135 and 40 and
