Statin use in patients with coronary atheroma identified on computed tomography coronary angiography: current practice in South Auckland, New Zealand (ANZACS-QI 82)

The finding of atheroma with obstructive CAD on CTCA is associated with appropriate increases in statin use. There are opportunities to optimise care by greater statin utilisation in non-obstructive CAD and down-titration in those without atheroma.

Abstract

The finding of atheroma with obstructive CAD on CTCA is associated with appropriate increases in statin use. There are opportunities to optimise care by greater statin utilisation in non-obstructive CAD and down-titration in those without atheroma.
