    Methods GLAGOV compared the effects of treatment for 78 weeks with evolocumab or placebo on progression of coronary atherosclerosis, measured by serial intravascular ultrasonography, in statin-treated patients with coronary artery disease. Results Female patients were older (61.7 vs 58.8 years, P<0.001), more likely to have hypertension (89.2 vs 79.5%, P=0.001), two or more risk factors at baseline (77.2 vs 66.4%, P=0.003) and low HDL-C (females <50mg/dL, males <40mg/dL) at baseline (49.6 vs 39.1%, P=0.006).
