Abstract
In this study of elderly statin patients without recent evidence of CV events, the majority of patients started on low-dose therapy and did not achieve sufficient adherence. After controlling for patient and clinical characteristics, no statistically significant difference in risk of CV event was observed based on initiation with atorvastatin versus simvastatin.
