Statin recommendation for SCAD patient

i have been to many cardiologists over the years, and no they did not put me on statins as my HDL/LDL did not warrant. Inflammation is my issue, I am genetically high. I am particularly interested in the Mayo study that discussed Statins and SCAD, as previously it was said to avoid, so I'm looking for information on that.

@avt Statins, in addition to calcifying and stabilizing the extant deposits, and reducing their likelihood of growing or of new deposits appearing, reduce inflammation. Few people realize this or are advised of this benefit.
