A 63-year-old male comes to you for a new-patient visit. He has a past medical history of a myocardial infarction (MI) and hyperlipidemia one year ago. He ran out of his previous medications several weeks ago and cannot remember what they were. He is asymptomatic and has a normal physical exam except for a blood pressure of 165/92 mmHg. His labs come back with a hemoglobin A1c of 5.4%, an elevated LDL, and normal electrolytes and renal function. In addition to a statin and daily aspirin, what other medication would be the best to start him on
