"Patients have an impossible dilemma... coming off #statins may lead to a #stroke or #heartattack, but staying on them might lead to pain. We hope this reassures them"

Catch our in-depth interview with @addiperkins from the #StatinWISE trial.

Thrilled to see our trial looking at the effect of statins on muscle symptoms published in the BMJ today.

#Statins have no overall effect on muscle pain finds individual randomised, placebo controlled trial.

Important as many patients stop taking statins due to less severe symptoms exposing them to increased #CVD risk.

@james_brabazon @Deal_Town And that's on top of the deal that we already have with the Independent Republic of Brabazonia.

[Addi Perkins @addiperkins]

@jd_wilko That's a great idea - internal review is always useful so external, random(ish) review would be good too!

@proftomquinn @escardio Thanks Tom! Glad you enjoyed it - fascinating area of research with lots of room for advances.

Largest study of its kind ever, anywhere.

@seatsixtyone Perfect for spending a weekend hiking in the Tyrol!

[Addi Perkins @addiperkins]

@seatsixtyone I grew up in those islands (the Gulf Islands) but live in London now. When I tell people where I come from they always ask: “what are you doing here?”

[Addi Perkins @addiperkins]

@VelocastJohn Wonderful stuff!
