@DWeinberger27 @Blagosklonny @guilherme_paiao @MacroView02 @retiredzorro @RapaNews Agree data for secondary prevention is robust, far less for primary. The Q is overall risk/benefit incl. morbidity. A better summary to date, incorporating all the data = 2019 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease https://t.co/rFuhTJyeTh YMMV
