Antonio M. Gotto

Richard G. Bach, a leading cardiologist, and Antonio M. Gotto, a prominent expert in dyslipidemia, explore the effects of combining simvastatin with ezetimibe for patients aged 75 and older. They discuss significant LDL reductions and a greater absolute risk reduction in older patients, emphasizing the treatment's effectiveness. Gotto highlights the importance of shared decision-making in guidelines for elderly care. Both guests conclude there are no increased safety concerns, stressing the need for more intensive lipid-lowering strategies in this demographic.
