Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether raloxifene compared with placebo lowers the risk of coronary events and reduces the risk of invasive breast cancer in postmenopausal women at risk for major coronary events.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Postmenopausal women with established coronary heart disease or at risk for a major coronary event.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Postmenopausal symptoms that required estrogen replacement therapy.
* Suspected or known history of breast or endometrial carcinoma.
* Known or probable history of deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or retinal vein thrombosis.
* New York Heart Association classes III or IV heart failure.

Primary outcomes:
measure: Time to first occurrence of coronary death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), or hospitalized acute coronary syndrome other than MI combined after an expected 5 to 7.5 years of follow-up.
measure: Time to first occurrence of invasive breast cancer after an expected 5 to 7.5 years of follow-up.
Secondary outcomes:
measure: After an expected 5 to 7.5 years of follow-up:
measure: Cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, hospitalized acute coronary syndrome other than MI, myocardial revascularization, and stroke (individually and combined)
measure: All-cause hospitalization and mortality
measure: Non-coronary artery revascularization
measure: Non-traumatic lower extremity amputation
measure: Fractures
measure: Venous thromboembolism.
