This randomized trial assessed the effect of alirocumab/statin vs. placebo/statin on flow mediated dilation (FMD) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
- •
FMD improved throughout 1 year after AMI with medical therapy similarly in alirocumab/statin vs. placebo/statin treated patients.
- •
FMD at baseline was significantly inversely associated with coronary plaque burden on intravascular ultrasound.
