The use of statin to target lipid levels and decrease cardiovascular events is a decision made by the treating physician. Since the patient is currently low risk, the risk of a cardiovascular event occurring in the next 10 years is less than 2.5%. Nevertheless, if the patient were high risk, 65-years-old, and with high blood pressure, the risk of a cardiovascular event in the next 10 years would be more than 25%. This is an opportunity decision.
