Previous studies have examined recent trends in statin use for primary prevention but have not assessed the effect of guideline changes (3). We hypothesized greater increases in statin use for primary prevention among adults newly recommended statins by the ACC/AHA guidelines.Objective: To describe trends in statin use for primary prevention across indication categories ...References1.
