Abbildung 36: EUROPA-Studie - Medikation
Of particular importance when it comes to interpretation of this study is the background treatment. Demographic data clearly demonstrate that the EUROPA patients were receiving perindopril or placebo on top of optimal preventive therapy. Most of the randomised coronary artery disease patients were treated with platelet inhibitors, B-blockers, lipid lowering drugs, nitrates, Ca-blockers, diuretics and oral anticoagulants. Homogeneity was maintained between these two groups of patients.
