Evidence of the efficacy of statins to reduce ASCVD morbidity and mortality in individuals 75 years who have known clinical ASCVD (secondary prevention) is well established. Primary prevention in this population has not been as clear. Join us while we discuss a recent study in the BMJ which assessed the benefits of statins for primary prevention of ASCVD morbidity and mortality in individuals 75 years with and without DM.
