Among the amazing turn of events in preventing and
reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases since the discovery of statins,
thousand of physicians started to prescribe it as a regular life-long
treatment, but regarding the expanding number of patients on statin therapy, a wide
spectrum of side effects started to appear. Statin-associated myopathy

long time, we performed a review to provide a clinical summary of statin-associated
myopathy and to discuss possible mechanisms of risk factors and management of statin-associated
myopathy.
