Also, I don’t know how long ago you smoked or how much, but between a cardio ct scan and an echo, cardiologist should be able to tell you the state of your heart. Many doctors have stopped prescribing statins, especially for women. Second opinion maybe?

I have an irregular heartbeat (benign) so I’ve had an echocardiogram to make sure all is okay but I’ve yet to have a CT scan. I told my cardiologist I was reticent to go on a statin as my cholesterol is only slightly elevated so I’m scheduled for a CT scan in September 2024. I don’t want to wait that long so I might try to get one privately in the States (I’m from Canada and since it’s not an emergency, I’m a very low priority).

This is the first time I have heard that 'doctors have stopped prescribing statins, esp for women.'

Could you please advise about the source of this information?
