Statins Cut Heart Attack Risk in Healthy Women
"Cardiovascular disease can be mistaken as an 'old man's disease', while unfortunately the evidence suggests that people are suffering cardiovascular events younger and more women are at risk of developing the disease," the Daily Express quoted Dr Sarah Jarvis, the Royal College of General Practitioners' spokesperson for women's health, as saying.
"There has long been support for the wider use of statins in women, but we didn't have the outcomes data to support these recommendations.
"This data is extremely exciting as this level of risk reduction among women has never been seen before in a primary prevention statin outcome trial," she added.
