Comment Summary

At the recent American College of Cardiology meeting in late March 2008, an expert panel of cardiologists determined that the ENHANCE study put Vytorin and Zetia in a bad light, and recommended that doctors go back to prescribing statins alone. Here is a media summary of that: http://www.cnbc.com/id/23871395. As a result of this panel's recommendations in late March 2008, what have you done?

1.	4/22/2008 6:09:00 PM	Most ACC 'experts' are not any more 'expert' than other cardiologists.
2.	4/22/2008 6:37:00 PM	See my answer to #7 above
3.	4/22/2008 7:56:00 PM	I have decrease prescriptions for Vytorin, but not for Zetia
4.	4/22/2008 10:03:00 PM	no change
5.	4/23/2008 5:23:00 AM	I have stopped prescribing Vytorin
6.	4/23/2008 10:11:00 AM	Never prescribed in the first place.
7.	4/23/2008 1:35:00 PM	The ACC panel was an embarassment to the ACC. It was NOT a scientific discussion, it was a diatrribe by one member who attempted to thrust his strong opinions on all. It was a great diservice to the cardiology community and resulted in unecessarily scaring many patients.
8.	4/23/2008 2:37:00 PM	I did not prescribe Vytorin, but Zetia for statin intolerance
9.	4/23/2008 4:21:00 PM	There have not been enough situations to make a generalised answer
10.	4/24/2008 4:46:00 AM	i have never started vytorin
11.	4/24/2008 1:58:00 PM	Never used Vytorin
12.	4/25/2008 12:18:00 AM	I did not use Zetia much as there are no outcome data. Statins work!
13.	4/27/2008 9:11:00 PM	I didn't prescribe it prior, anyway
14.	5/2/2008 1:52:00 AM	the ACC expert panel was NEITHER expert nor a panel! it was a one doc polemic with little scientific justification
