Abstract
In the December 1, 2006, issue of the American Journal of Cardiology, the Editor-in-Chief, William C. Roberts, MD, made a strong case for early initiation of therapy with statin drugs. He stated that because life insurance policies were often purchased by individuals in their 20s, statin drugs with or without ezetimibe could be started at the same time.1 I fully agree with him and emphasize that prevention should not be limited to decreasing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, but also to lifestyle change and the treatment of systemic hypertension and other risk factors.
