Abstract
The use of statin therapy in elderly patients with symptomatic atherosclerosis has increased substantially during the past decade, but many patients remain untreated. The suboptimal use is greatest among patients with PAD or CVD, or both, and lowest in patients with CAD. Given the heightened risk of cardiovascular adverse outcomes in patients with atherosclerosis, these data have important and immediate implications.
