Predictors of statin adherence

Patients with traditional cardiovascular risk factors demonstrate higher adherence to statin therapy for primary prevention.

Abstract

Current evidence suggests that patients with more traditional risk factors for CVD are more likely to be adherent to statins. The implications for future research are discussed.
