That's impressive. My TC is 221 / LDL is 126 (checked this past March). My CAC came back at 2534, so I was immediately put on 10mg of Crestor (along with baby aspirin) by my doc, but when I saw my cardiologist three weeks later, he upped me to 20mg. I'll be curious to see where I'm at in 3 months. I hope I see the results you saw jasper1072.

Hey Hikerguy62...I hope you see that drop as well! When I spoke with my PCP today he asked if I wanted him to reduce the dose from 10mg to 5mg.....I said heck no! If I can maintain a LDL of 35 that would be great...he agreed so I am staying on 10mg. I will also keep my diet going...its not bad...heck I ate 3 hamburgers this month and it still was that low. I am doing alot of beans and fiber...maybe that helps also.
