Started statins in 2016 after the carotid scan. Should have started in 2008.
Stress test completed - No problems, no sign of ischemia, HR > 140, >10METS
Echocardiogram completed - No problems, ejection rate >75%, no valve troubles.
Carotid scan still to do
Advanced lipids test in 8 weeks
LDL goal is < 55 - upped lipitor to 20mg, added 81mg aspirin daily - but I will probably do every other day. Daily aspirin makes me nervous for some reason, can't just quit and have to taper off.

Cardiologist have any thoughts on Vascepa?
