Abstract

Based on recent clinical trial evidence, updated treatment guidelines in the UK recommend high-intensity statin therapy (atorvastatin 80mg) for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. However, with this high statin dose, there are concerns about a potential increase in the incidence of statin-related side effects, which might affect patients’ adherence and, in turn, clinical outcomes. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of statin intensity on adherence and persistence to therapy.
