Abstract:
Statins, as the first-line anti-atherosclerosis drugs, are of significant benefit in reducing the risk for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. However, many studies have shown that the patient adherence to statin is poor in clinical practice, and many cardiovascular patients abruptly discontinue therapy. Acute withdrawal of statin therapy may have a rebound effect on patient outcomes, and clinicians should pay attention to statin withdrawal syndrome to avoid its occurence.
