Study Details
Prevention for Adults at Risk of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD)
(IRB#: IRB_00155180)
Older adults may be at risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). This is the buildup of fats, cholesterol, and other substances on the walls of the artery. Statin is a medication that can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. Research is needed to learn the benefit of using statins in the prevention of ASCVD. This will help us develop a model for assessing risk factors for ASCVD. The information we gain may aid future patients.
