It stands for Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event. I think it includes cardiovascular death, heart attack, stroke, but I'm not certain.

Great question @leeosteo.

I just looked up MACE to formally see what is included and have to laugh. You are a rock star, @bitsygirl!

Major Adverse Cardiac Event (MACE) is exactly what you stated…..sometimes. It is a term used in cardiovascular research used to determine an end-point of a study. Each study defines the exact description a bit differently making it difficult to compare at times. Also, makes bitsygirl “not certain” comment spot on!

Thanks for prompting me to smile this evening.
