MSRA-0139

A 50-year-old man presents to you after experiencing a heart attack 4 weeks ago. He has been prescribed ramipril, bisoprolol, aspirin, and clopidogrel following the event. Although he was offered a statin, he declined it at the time, feeling that he was being asked to take too many medications simultaneously. He has since read about the advantages of being on a statin and wishes to begin statin therapy. What is the appropriate statin for this patient to start on?
