Se consideró como expuestos a terapia intensiva a los sujetos con una dosis prescrita de simvastatina superior a 40mg/día o con una dosis diaria de otra estatina con capacidad equivalente para la reducción de los niveles plasmáticos de cLDL (atorvastatina ≥40 mg, fluvastatina >80 mg, lovastatina >80 mg, pitavastatina >4 mg, pravastatina >80 mg, rosuvastatina >5 mg) 7,13 .…”
