What is the association between statin therapy and mortality in patients with atheroscle- rotic cardiovascular disease?
A study by Rodriguez et al. (2017) found that there is an association between intensity of statin therapy and mortality in patients with atheroscle- rotic cardiovascular disease. The study examined the use of statin therapy and its effects on mortality in patients with atheroscle- rotic cardiovascular disease. It was found that higher intensity statin therapy was associated with a lower risk of mortality in patients with atheroscle- rotic cardiovascular disease. This finding suggests that statin therapy can be beneficial in reducing the risk of mortality in this population.
