Article Synopsis
- The study examined statin prescription rates and their impact on outcomes for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in a large health care system, focusing on differences between Black and White patients.
- Results showed that significantly fewer Black patients were prescribed statins compared to White patients, which was linked to increased ASCVD risks for both groups, though the race interaction was not a significant factor for ASCVD events.
- Overall, the findings highlight that statins are underprescribed, and while disparities exist in prescription rates, they did not correlate directly with higher mortality risk among the studied populations.
