Abstract: Statins are one of the most commonly prescribed and studied medications in the United States with significant side effects being infrequent. These medications have not been studied to the same degree in America Indian and Alaskan Native AI/AN populations. On the reservation that we serve, we have seen elevated rates of SAAM, which is typically only seen in 2-3 of every 100,000 patients treated with statins. This is a potentially life-threatening condition that necessitates additional study to determine the true impact on AI/AN populations.
