What part of this caused you to believe that she needed treatment with a
statin?

Her high HDL and low TGLs put her at very low CVD risk categorization
and are a marker for her large, undamaging type LDL.

Susan,

In spite of what you say, there are very early heart attacks in my
husband's family and my husband is at high risk of a heart attack as
well. I know nothing about the Ashkenazi Jews you refer to, but I
have done quite a bit of reading on familial hypercholesterolemia.
Some people with FH have high HDL and low TG but have early heart
disease anyway (there is no link between FH and high TG, so far as I
know).

Anyway, the bottom line is that I made my decision.

Marilyn
