Statin Wars are being waged in the medical literature over the expanded use of statins for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. While statins are said to be very safe, they are associated with increased blood pressure, increased blood sugar and problems with memory and cognition. This activity aims to review the guidelines, provide criteria and cautions for weighing the evidence, and assist the prescribing physician or practitioner in advising patients on what to do about statins in the current environment of uncertainty and controversy.
