My sister did not take a statin until after her bradycardia event. Looking at past lipid tests, her numbers were good and had reduced over the last year since I started managing all meals (LDL from 117 to 85; HDL 42 to 46; triglycerides 54 to 47). Those improvements were all before she began taking a statin. There's still a long way to go to improving her HDL level (should be 60>). Your message reminded me that she is overdue for a lipid test to recheck those numbers.

I don't know what "bradycardia resolved" means. Hopefully, it indicates that his doctor understand the reason he experienced bradycardia and that there is little chance he will experience it again. We only learned that my sister has SVTs (supraventricular tachycardia) because I brought her to the ER again for a very low pulse. The ER put a ZIO heart monitor on her for 2 weeks and she experienced 31 instances of SVT. When that happens, she's freezing and her pulse is very low (high 30s-high 40s). The ZIO monitor sticks on the skin; you remove it and mail it in a pre-stamped mailing box after the recommended duration. If your healthcare provider offers a patient portal, you'll be able to read the results of the ZIO testing when it is made available to your doctor. A cardiologist electrophysiologist is needed to determine the underlying issue.
