Demirci, Deniz; Demirci, Duygu Ersan
- Abstract
The article focuses on guidelines published by the American Heart Association on non-statin medication (NSM). It mentions that statin therapy reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol (C) levels and has anti-inflammatory effect when used in high-intensity statin therapy (HIST) doses. It also mentions addition of ezetimibe as first line therapy for patients over 21 years with clinical coronary artery disease already receiving maximum tolerated statin therapy.
