The new ACC Statin Intolerance App
guides clinicians through the process
of managing and treating patients who
report muscle symptoms while on statin
therapy. Clinicians can use the app to
evaluate possible intolerance to a patient’s current statin prescription, follow
steps to manage and treat a patient who
reports muscle symptoms on a statin, and
compare statin characteristics and drug
interactions to inform management of
LDL-related risk. Information in the app
is derived from ACC/AHA cholesterol
guidelines and best practices. Learn more
at ACC.org/MobileResources.
