YES. In patients with known cardiovascular disease (CVD), ezetimibe with a statin decreases major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) but has no effect on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, compared to a statin alone (strength of recommendation [SOR], A; meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials [RCTs] including 1 large RCT). In adults with atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD), the combination of ezetimibe and a moderate-intensity statin (rosuvastatin 10 mg) was noninferior at decreasing cardiovascular death, major cardiovascular events, and nonfatal stroke, but was more tolerable, compared to a high-intensity statin (rosuvastatin 20 mg) alone (SOR, B; 1 RCT).
