  • Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

The randomized CENTURY trial demonstrates that comprehensive integrated lifestyle modification and medical management towards goals with revascularization reserved for severely reduced CFC, significantly reduced risk factor scores, death, death or MI, and revascularization.
