The Dangers of Statins Part 6: Risk-Benefit Ratio - FORD BREWER MD MPH

Episode Summary

This video covers the risk/benefit analysis on statins by Rory Collins & the Statin Trialist Group, published in Lancet magazine 2015. They looked at the rate of side effects for statins, then they compared them to the prevention of death. Yes, statins can cause problems. They can even kill. But that's rare. And the lives save by statins are not rare at all.
