Brief Summary
To estimate ischemic event rates in individuals with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and no prior acute ischemic events, comparing alirocumab with no Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor therapy, using a target trial emulation of routine clinical practice data.
