Association between a reduction in triglyceride levels and risk of cardiovascular events
A weak association was found between a reduction in TG levels and a reduced risk of cardiovascular events in the primary prevention population. However, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, and large cardiovascular outcomes trials are needed to prove that substantial reductions in TG levels correlate with cardiovascular event risk reduction.
