Hello
I scored 1146 on a recent CT Calcium scan which now establishes me as a cardiovascular patient. I have a high plaque burden (atherosclerosis) which is being treated with Rosuvastatin 20 mg and now Ezetimibe 10. This should reduce my LDL’s from 72 to the 40’s (I hope). If not I’ll go to 40 mg of the statin and see what help that offers.

I also exercise 200 minutes a week and am steadily decreasing my intake of egg yolks and cheese.

I have an Lp(a) of 127 which is high so these meds may help. If not, Reoatha might.

I have no side effects from the statin maybe because I take CoQ10 as well.

Are you worried you have a potential for a stroke or heart attack? I have been reassured by good results from my echocardiogram, carotid Doppler and nuclear stress test. I remain symptom-free.
