Like many men, Bob had a lax attitude towards drug compliance. He wonders now if he shouldn't have been more vigilant about taking them: One study of nearly 20,000 patients found that, after a heart attack, taking a statin can prevent the risk of death within one year by 25%. Among patients who don’t even have cardiovascular disease, taking a statin preventively can reduce the risk of a cardiac event like heart attack by about 30%.
