I would like to start a discussion about all of the positive effects of statins.
They definitely prevent major cardiac events in those of us who are aging.
Aortic atherosclerosis and aneurysmal dilation are definitely strong indications to be on statin. They help our carotids and other arteries in our
bodies. They are anti inflammatory for those of us with systemic rheumatic
Inflammation. Good for the heart and our brain function as well. Likely
forestall dementia. Ask your middle age primary doc or cardiologist which statin they are on. I resisted for years with borderline lipids, I got educated
when psoriatic arthritis and PMR added on my risk profile. So far good in
late 70s.
