Do you feel comfortable using Jak inhibitors in patients with a strong family history of CAD, but no other risk factors?
How do you counsel patients in this scenario?
Answer from: at Academic Institution

The studies with showed the highest risk were with higher dose of JAK inhibitors and in patients with cardiac risk factors, so would suggest to use lower dose...
