Influence of baseline low-density lipoprotein cholesterol values on statin therapy persistence
2016
Purpose
Persistence to statins is low, in part due to lack of perception of cardiovascular (CV) risk. High values of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) might increase the motivation for patients to be persistent. We investigated whether the baseline LDL-C value influences the discontinuation of statin treatment in patients with and without previous CV events.
