Based on the conservative estimate that each intervention — aspirin, BP treatment (lowering systolic BP by 10 mm Hg),
or lipid modification (lowering LDL-C by 20%) — reduces cardiovascular risk by about 25% over 5 years.
Note: Cardiovascular events are defined as myocardial infarction, new angina, ischemic stroke, transient
ischemic attack (TIA), peripheral vascular disease, congestive heart failure, and cardiovascular-related death.
