The percentage of patients with ASCVD 76 years and older who received HIST substantially increased from 2007 to 2016. This trend was identified in both females and males. Future comparative effectiveness research should be conducted in this patient population to examine cardiac-related outcomes with HIST and Non-HIST use.
