N2 - Patients with established cardiovascular (CV) disease remain at dramatic residual risk for subsequent events, despite growing evidence in secondary prevention and wider dissemination of intensive treatment. This review focuses on new options in secondary risk prevention as presented by these five major randomized controlled trials (RCT): PEGASUS-TIMI 54, COMPASS, FOURIER, ODYSSEY and CANTOS. Three main therapeutic targets are addressed: residual cholesterol, residual inflammatory and residual thrombotic risk. All of the trials reviewed included patients with stable CV disease on optimal medical treatment with a surprising similar mortality. As of now, evolocumab, alirocumab and ticagrelor are on the market, while rivaroxaban and canakinumab are not yet licensed for the treatment of secondary prevention in CV disease. Although life-style modifications and better utilization of established medical treatment options will remain first-line strategy, new medication is just about to enter the market. Secondary prevention in coronary artery disease (CAD) holds a strong potential to reduce subsequent CV events, even CV death. It seems that a combination of an aggressive lipid-lowering treatment in combination with antithrombotic therapy could improve prognosis significantly (at least for distinct subgroups). Against this background, individual efficacy, risk, and costs have to be considered when identifying patients for each new regime.
