Abstract :
[en] The demonstration that stains reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, in both secondary and primary prevention trials, led to the recent publication of sophisticated pharmaco-economical studies. A lot of factors may influence the cost-effectiveness ratio of the pharmacological intervention, especially the mode of calculation of various costs, the initial level of cardiovascular risk of the patients and the medico-economical particularities of each country. What so ever, available studies appear to justify the use of statins in secondary prevention, i.e. in coronary patients, even those with only a moderate hypercholesterolaemia, and, in primary prevention, i.e in hypercholesterolaemia individuals with obvious high risk of cardiovascular disease.
