Hmm, I did not know about alternatives AFTER using statins. Yes, it is LDL. Thanks for posting. Conventional wisdom, maybe hearsay was that once you started statins you had to continue them or increase an event risk. Recall President Bill Clinton doing just that, then making a public admonishment NOT to stop statins.🤷♂️

I think Bill was wrong. At least I've never heard that from two cardiologists I've seen, one beingbthe creator of the Calcium Score and who I wish I'd not moved too far away too keep seeing easily. A really good doctor and reassuring, positive but realistic, person.
P S One thing that a lot of people take is no-flush niacin. But a friend was on that and was in a car accident and doctors in the ER insisted that he must have been on blood-thinners as they had a lot of trouble stopping the bleeding. It was the ER nurse who asked about everything he was taking and told the doctors her husband had had a 'paradoxical' bleed after a small wound when on no-flush niacin. So just a heads up on the natural stuff that's been under-studied.
