4 Figure 3 Effect of simvastatin allocation on first major vascular event during follow-up by baseline concentrations of LDL cholesterol and CRP Test for heterogeneity between four groups, excluding participants with missing data for baseline CRP concentration. Threshold values used to define low and high concentrations of LDL cholesterol and CRP are from the median values in the hypothesis-generating trial.8 CRP=C-reactive protein.
