| Core Tip |
Statins have an important and well-established role in the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. However, several studies have reported widespread underuse of statins in various practice settings and populations. Review of relevant literature reveals opportunities for improvement in the implementation of guideline-directed statin therapy (GDST). We aimed to examine the impact of cardiologist intervention on adherence to GDST in the ambulatory setting. Our evaluation shows that although overall adherence to GDST was suboptimal, there was no statistical difference in appropriate statin use based on guidelines between groups managed by general internists alone or co-managed with a cardiologist. These findings highlight the need to design and implement strategies to improve adherence rates to GDST across all specialties. |
