      Smoking cessation appears to be comparable to the use of three targeted drugs in warding off future major cardiovascular events in smokers with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), according to a new study. According to data from six large, prospective randomized trials, patients would gain, on average, 4.8 years free of a myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke by quitting smoking or by taking bempedoic acid, colchicine, and a PCSK9 inhibitor.

        @samay This study serves as an important reminder about how we, as cardiologists, are driven to relentlessly work to lower risk of recurrent events in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
