Statin-induced tendon rupture in a patient with high 10-year ASCVD score; a case report

Abstract

We present 58-year-old man on long-term statin therapy with history of ischemic heart disease and percutaneous coronary intervention. Statin-associated tendon rupture is an uncommon clinical presentation that happened in our case. We review the literature to find the reliable substitute of statin in such high-risk patients for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
