Low-intensity versus moderate- to high-intensity lipid-lowering therapy after myocardial infarction in patients aged 80 years and older: A retrospective cohort study
Among MI patients aged over 80 years, moderate-to-high-intensity LLT significantly reduced mortality risk during 3-year follow-up compared to low-intensity LLT only in patients with CCI scores ≤ 4. Further investigation is required to optimize personalized lipid management through rigorous assessment of LLT benefits versus adverse effects.
