Effect of optimal risk factor management on recurrent ASCVD risk

Literature - Apr. 4, 2023 - Van Trier TJ, et al. - Eur J Prev Cardiol. 2023

A pooled analysis of patients with established ASCVD showed a 10-year risk of recurrent ASCVD events of 20% and a lifetime risk of 54%. Theoretically, optimization of both lifestyle and medications could reduce both risks and add 7.3 event-free years.
