@LiveAncestral My wife's doctor said her cholesterol was high so she needed a statin. She got a CAC scan instead. Her score was zero. No statin for her!
She was 65.
@TomasBr43751366@LiveAncestral Healthy people with elevated LDL and no metabolic dysfunction don’t benefit from statins. It’s published.
Otherwise healthy individuals with high LDL cholesterol but no traditional risk factors (like diabetes or hypertension), might have a low 10-year risk (often <5% - 7.5%).
@Roadman_Podcast Amen! As a mature cyclist, I wonder why no one cares for a rider of a steel frame classic bike with nice geometry and caliper brakes. There are no wheels to buy, no gruppo upgrades, no replacement parts, even Campagnolo left us behind. And we are legion.
@markkaplan20 The levels of corruption you bring to light in posts like this one are staggering. Only one thing is certain: follow the money! Sad, and dangerous.
@MaryBowdenMD Yes, had the vertigo hit, got the scan and the meclizine. ENT doc mentioned Epley but vertigo was gone by then.
How do you know which ear has the vertigo?
