Vince,

What do you propose for women who are at high cardiovascular risk? Do
you propose that none of these women be prescribed statins, or would
you allow any exceptions? Would you advocate not permitting statins
to be prescribed to such women even if they want to take one?


I don't know what Vince proposes, other than corn chips, but I was, for many years, in the top decile of CVD risk based upon my lipids profile, and have since fallen well below average in risk.

Dietary modification, even without exercise, did it for me, even as I've battled hypercortisolemia, which raises serum lipids among a host of other life shortening effects.

My paternal relatives died of CVD pretty close the age your husband's did.
