Treatment patterns and adherence to lipid-lowering drugs during eight-year follow-up after a coronary heart disease event

CONCLUSIONS: In this long-term follow-up of patients with CHD, less than 70 % used high-intensity statin therapy with only small changes over time, and only 25 % used additional treatment with ezetimibe. We identified factors associated with reduced statin adherence that may be target for interventions.PMID:38657552 | DOI:10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2024.117550
