-==Overview==
-The intensity of statin therapy is defined on the basis of the average expected LDL response to a specific statin and dose. High-intensity statin daily therapy lowers LDL by approximately ≥50%, moderate-intensity statin lowers LDL by approximately 30% to <50%, and lower-intensity statin lowers LDL by <30%.<ref name="circ.ahajournals.org">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = 2013 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Treatment of Blood Cholesterol to Reduce Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Risk in Adults | url =http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/early/2013/11/11/01.cir.0000437738.63853.7a.full.pdf+html | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = 13 November 2013 }}</ref>
