MIRACL

   Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
MIRACL
Myocardial Ischaemia Reduction with Aggressive Cholesterol Lowering Cardiology. A trial that asked whether early, rapid and profound cholesterol-lowering therapy with atorvastatin reduces early recurrent ischaemic events in patients with unstable angina or non-Q-wave MI
Conclusion A primary endpoint of major acute coronary events (MACE) occurred in 14.8% of atorvastatin patients and 17.4% of placebo patients (p = 0.05). Atorvastatin reduced the risk of ischaemia (6.2% vs. 8.4%; p = 0.02), but did not reduce the risk of MACE. Stroke occurred in 12 atorvastatin patients and 24 placebo patients (p = 0.04)

It may not be Pulitzer material, but it's interesting to know that the MIRACL laser (a proto-Star Wars weapon) costs more to run per second than the entire federal government; that as many as six officials may have access to the code that would launch a nuclear strike; that a man named Francis Dellenbach is living in an abandoned missile silo and has painted its doors (which leak) hot pink.
