Old statin studies were paid by pharma. New studies show statins do very little. Diet does more. Reducing stress does more. I reduced my blockage. Weight loss and good sleep help more.

Sorry, despite my 400 CAC score and high cholesterol I will NOT take statins. I do not trust studies funded by big pharma and doctors basing their practice and treatments on those studies. I'm almost 70 YO and my resting heart rate is in the mid 50s, my BP is typically 115/72. I must be doing something right. I fast regularly and ride my bike at least 60 miles every week.

All the meds and superfood magic bullets are no help if you are eating a high processed carb diet causing inflammation. I suspect if you take people who are strict keto eating real food, then add in high dose Omega 3, K2, niacin and LDL/apoB inhibitors you stand a good chance. And of course, if exercise was a drug, there would be little need for most others. 😎

Dear Doctor, I am from India. So far I have been free of any symptoms. I have a positive family history (mother had a stroke and died 30 years ago when I was a child), father was free of any cardiovascular symptoms and died in 2020. I am probably a carrier of the 9p21.3 region gene associated with CAD and premature CAD which is common in an Asian Indian population. Your advice will be greatly appreciated.

I am probably a carrier of the 9p21.3 region gene associated with CAD and premature CAD which is common in an Asian Indian population. Your advice will be greatly appreciated. I had an angiography 2 weeks ago Coronary angiography: Left main stem unobstructed. Left coronary artery: 70% stenosis of prox. RIVA, 50% stenosis of prox. RIM. 70% stenosis of LCX - Proximal. 70% stenosis of Mid.LCX Right coronary artery: 80% stenosis of dist. RCA. 70% stenosis of med RCA. Diagnoses: 1. coronary triple barrel disease. - Coronary angiography elective with the diagnosis of CHD on cardiac CT on 13.07.2023: - Sign. proximal RIVA stenosis. - RCX with long wall changes and sign. Stenoses proximal and in the middle section - RIM with intermediate stenosis proximally - RCA diffuse wall-angulated with significant. Stenoses proximal and distal - Lavographically normal LVEF. no reg. motility impulses - Cardiac CT in advance (Chur) with electrical path. Ergometry: diagnosis of CHD, Ca-score >1000 - CyRF: Art. Hypertension Assessment: The 47-year-old patient is found to have quite advanced coronary three-vessel disease for his age with significant stenoses in the proximal RIVA, RCX and RCA. Stenoses in the proximal RIVA, RCX and RCA. The vessels have diffuse wall changes, but the connecting segments for an ACBP would be relatively small. The LVEF is normal. I discussed the findings with the patient at length and told him that the findings were not suitable for percutaneous revascularization. With the patient completely symptom-free, we decided to perform a cardiac MRI with a question about the extent of ischaemia. Then we discussed ACBP vs. drug therapy. In addition to the established medication, I prescribed atorvastatin and bisoprolol. Thank you

Well statins add to muscle pain & I already have FM, OA,PA,AS,COPD, Pre-diabetes SPN, WMD + So My carotid artery is 69% blocked, maybe even 70% blocked. Would it B wiser to have a TCAR & a stent & have to take blood thinner for the rest of my life or not do surgery & take Praluent 150 mgs every week which as U said will harden the soft plaque, but not open th artery. So less blood & oxygen is getting to my brain. I am afraid it will kill me being so blocked. I know if it becomes hard plaque,calsified it won't break off & cause a stroke, but hey I'm getting less oxygen & blood to my brain. That sucks! Your thoughts about such a high blockage in the carotid artery. The other is the standard 50%. Hope to hear from U. Scared to do anything other than red rice yeast, flushing niacin & garlic..

Some doctors believe that a specific dietary program, which followed carefully, can reverse plaques in some cases. See Caldwell Esselstyn videos for more information, and Dr. John Mcdougall. I'm on the Mcdougall diet strictly for 6 years now and I lowered my total cholesterol from 212 to 120. Last checked it was 131. It is said that for people who haven't had heart issues, keeping LDL below 70 effectively makes them 'heart attack proof' (very tiny risk of disease). I am not sure if this works only with dietary change or if statins reducing it below 70 will guarantee it. There is a lower goal number for people who had heart issues previously.

By means of an angiogram. If you have no symptoms nor high-risk considerations, you would get a CT-CAC first, to find out how much Coronary Artery Calcium (calcification) you have (if any). If so, then doc might allow you to get the angiogram (there are two types, a physical type and a CT type). The angiogram can show your blood flow, how open or closed your arteries in/near the heart are, and if there are any blockages. So: you need to see a cardiologist. Of course, even if the CAC shows no calcification, you still could have some soft plaque (lipid, etc., but not calcified), and to find that out, you'd need the angiogram.
