The ACC recently launched the Statin Intolerance mobile app to guide clinicians through the process of managing and treating patients who report muscle symptoms while on statin therapy.

Clinicians can use the app to evaluate possible intolerance in a patient’s current statin prescription, follow steps to manage and treat patients who report muscle symptoms while taking statins, and compare statin characteristics and drug interactions to inform management of LDL-related risk.

Information in the app is derived from the 2013 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Treatment of Blood Cholesterol to Reduce Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Risk in Adults and best practices. Download the Statin Intolerance mobile app from the iTunes or Google Play stores today. Find out more about the ACC’s suite of mobile apps at ACC.org/Apps.
