Benefits and Risks Associated With Statin Therapy for Primary Prevention in Old and Very Old Adults. Real-World Evidence From a Target Trial Emulation Study
(From June 2024 Annals for Educators)
Clinical guidelines recommend the use of statins for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. However, there is uncertainty about the benefit of statin therapy in people older than 75 years, in part because of the underrepresentation of this age group in published statin trials. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term effectiveness and safety of statins for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in adults older than 75 years.
Annals for Educators is a Web Exclusives feature of Annals of Internal Medicine which includes activities using selected Annals articles to help medical educators in their teaching activities.
