Overview
The Stockholm Ischemic Heart Disease study is a randomized open label trial that assessed the effect of clofibrate and nicotinic acid vs placebo on ischemic heart disease mortality.

The Stockholm Ischemic Heart Disease study revealed a 36% decrease in ischemic heart disease mortality among patients who received the treatment vs control. The treatment effect on ischemic heart disease mortality was mostly related to the triglycerides plasma concentration, particularly among patients with a triglyceride plasma concentration higher than 1.5 mmol/l and those who had a decrease in the serum triglyceride by at least 30%.[1]
