LET’S BE HONEST
ABOUT CARDIOVASCULAR RISK
~1IN3DEATHS
in the US are due to
cardiovascular (CV) disease.1,2
OVER 100million
American ADULTS are living with some form of CV disease or the debilitating effects of stroke.1
45%of the US
population is estimated to have CV disease by 2035.3
Are we doing enough to protect our hearts?
NEARLY
95,000,000
Americans have high cholesterol, a common risk factor for CV disease. And that's just one of many causes.1,4

KILLER
Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of women and men, and your risk may begin to increase once you are over 45.5-7
Millions

is how much statins reduce your odds of a life-threatening CV event. Statins, along with diet and exercise, are the first step—but they don’t fully protect you from a serious heart attack or stroke. Persistent CV Risk (P-CVR) is the serious threat of a life-threatening event that remains.10
It's clear that heart disease is too risky to leave to unproven products. Proven treatment on top of cholesterol management is necessary.11
Millions of patients at risk of heart attack or stroke may be unknowingly receiving medications that have not shown to reduce CV risk on top of statins.12,13
If you have been prescribed a fenofibrate—know that fenofibrates are not proven or FDA approved to reduce CV risk on top of statins.13,14
Talk to your doctor about whether switching off of fenofibrates and onto FDA-approved therapies is right for you, as you may still be at risk of having a heart attack or stroke.13,14
