Bar graphs show smallest worthwhile difference distributions for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk in the US & Japan. Baseline risks are 2%, 10%, & 20%. X-axis: SWD in absolute risk reduction from baseline. Y-axis: percentage of US/Japanese participants.
Most statin-eligible adults in the US and Japan desire greater absolute risk reduction than current statin efficacy provides before initiating therapy for #ASCVD prevention.

Editorial titled, "Statins for Primary Prevention—The Gap Between Guidelines and Patient Preferences" by Ilana B. Richman et al. Text discusses when to use statins for preventing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
💬 Editorial: Statin guidelines and patient preferences for #ASCVD prevention often misalign, supporting the need for clearer risk communication and shared decision-making in clinical practice.
