TL;DR: The Cholesterol and Recurrent Events (CARE) trial investigated whether reducing average cholesterol levels by using pravastatin in patients who have had myocardial infarction would prevent recurrent cardiac events, and reported that patients who were older than the median age of 59 years had a reduced rate of coronary death, nonfatal myocardIAL infarctions, coronary artery bypass grafting, angioplasty, and stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: DASH is a multicenter, randomized, controlled-feeding trial designed to test the effects on blood pressure of two such dietary patterns consumed for 8 weeks, and the results, if positive, may be conveniently implemented in dietary recommendations to the general public.
