The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of patients with intermediate risk of
heart disease to appropriately use a Self-Management System.
To determine the relative effectiveness of moderate versus more aggressive lipid lowering,
and of low dose anticoagulation versus placebo, in delaying saphenous vein coronary bypass
graft atherosclerosis and preventing occlusion of saphenous grafts of patients with saphenous
vein coronary bypass grafts placed 1 to 11 years previously.
To determine whether warfarin or lovastatin alone or in combination retarded the progression
of atherosclerotic plaques in the carotid arteries of high risk individuals with asymptomatic
carotid stenosis. Also, to determine if a full scale trial was feasible.
To conduct a pilot study to determine whether lowering elevated serum cholesterol levels with
3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase inhibitors reduced mortality due
to the sequelae of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in older men and women.
