What ASCVD risk warrants statin treatment?

≥7.5% 10-year ASCVD risk in adults 40-75 years: statin recommended. ≥20% is high risk; 7.5-20% is intermediate risk.

Who should receive statin therapy regardless of ASCVD score?

Anyone with existing ASCVD, LDL ≥190 mg/dL, or diabetes aged 40-75 should receive statins regardless of calculated risk.

What are the limitations of Pooled Cohort Equations?

PCE overestimates risk in some populations. Coronary calcium score, hsCRP, and ABI can reclassify borderline risk patients.
