These events occurred in women with and without a history of MI or stroke. Cardiovascular death occurred in 17 (0.8%) and 12 (0.6%) of patients receiving this drug and alendronate, respectively. Positively adjudicated MACE (major adverse cardiac events; composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, nonfatal MI and nonfatal stroke) was significantly different at 41 (2%) and 22 (1.1%) in patients receiving this drug and alendronate respectively.

In the placebo-controlled trial, the number of women with positively adjudicated MACE was not significantly different with both groups reporting 0.8%.
