Abstract

The role of statins in reducing the risk of coronary artery disease is well established. The use of statins in patients at high risk for cardiovascular disease has reduced the incidence of major clinical events by 25% to 40%. However, despite aggressive statin therapy and the achievement of target low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, the residual risk of cardiovascular events remains high. This review investigates emerging therapies to target the residual risk of cardiovascular events with concurrent statin therapy.
