Definitions

The available evidence indicates clear and conclusive benefits of statins in the primary prevention of MI and stroke. In numerous randomized trials of over 170 000 patients in primary and secondary prevention, as well as their meta-analyses, statins produce both statistically and clinically significant reductions in MI and stroke as well as CVD and total mortality.[url:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30563358/] Statins, also known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, are a class of lipid-lowering medications that reduce illness and mortality in those who are at high risk of cardiovascular disease. They are the most common cholesterol-lowering drugs. [url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statin]
