#cardiomastodon EPA-based therapeutics appear to offer a major advance in #CVD risk reduction that adds to the protection afforded by #statins. REDUCE-IT demonstrated that high doses of a highly purified ethyl ester of EPA, icosapent ethyl, provided large relative and absolute risk reductions in #CVD mortality , #myocardialinfarction, #stroke, hospitalization for #unstableangina, and coronary revascularization in at-risk patients with triglycerides above ≈100 mg/dL despite therapy with statins…

I've been off Ozempic probably for at least 2 months and I have been told it'll be out of stock till the new year at least. That's over 5 months away.

Apparently I am going to have to move to tablets that are half my dose and take two at a time due to Atorvastatin 20mg shortage. This can only be done by seeing a doctor first and getting a new prescription.

Odd medical anecdote.

After a few years of low dose Lipitor (10 mg 4 times a week - because that low dose cratered my LDL) my xanthelasma (fatty lipid deposits in skin around eyes) are gone.

I though they were fading a year ago then I forgot about them. Just remembered to check today.

I’d read anecdotes of this but I don’t think it’s noted in textbooks. Xanthelasmae are “more-or-less” considered cosmetic and zapped with lasers for a fee.

Huzzah for #statins! 13 months of usage has noticeably reduced cholesterol levels. #Health #Medicine #ShouldBeAnElixirInDiabloIV

Familial hypercholesterolemia is a strange disease. I need a PCSK9 inhibitor in order to get my cholesterol back into normal range. I asked my father who also has familial hypercholesterolemia why he's not on an PCSK9 inhibitor like I am, and he said his statins are enough for him. Why do I need a PCSK9 inhibitor in addition to statins is anyone's guess.

I’m still surprised by the high number of #LLT #statins deniers despite the amount of proofs. But we still try to support a better management of #ASCVD patients despite toxic people. “Ignorance is mother of arrogance “ despite Easter

🏃‍♂️You're likely safe to keep up moderate exercise while taking #statins

anyone suffering from #statins side effects?

I've struggled for the best of the last three months because of legs tremours, I couldn't even step down the stairs without help

I've stopped statins two weeks ago and today I finally succeeded in changing my double monitor setup all by myself

doctors should stop thinking "you're just making it up" because of some questionable paper abstract (without having clearly read it)

is the "first, do no harm" oath completely gone and forgotten?

Fun fact about patent induced #pharma profits:

Professor sir Rory Collins has policy shaping influence. He claimed that based on his research, muscle weakness could incur as a side effect to #statins at a rate of 0.01%

Based on that, statins were deemed safe for patients with #myasthenia_gravis, an autoimmine disorder that attacks the skeletal muscles’ ability to move

Later, the true rate was revealed to be 29%

And now it’s known that statins may aggravate and even cause myasthenia gravis

New drug for high #cholesterol: #Nexletol which cost about $400 a month may be a good option for those who cannot tolerate #statins like #Crestor or #Lipitor (about $20 a month.)

“Bempedoic acid is a prodrug, which means it is activated by an enzyme after the medication enters the body. And, unlike statin drugs, bempedoic acid is mostly metabolized in the liver, not in peripheral tissues, like muscle, so…"has few, if any, muscle-related side effects.”

https://www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcoverage/acc/103434 Interesting article. Cholesterol is a risk factor for ❤️ disease. Many have been pointing to inflammation as a target for years…but swept under the pharmaceutical rug. I am happy to see they are waking up…statins are not the only answer to heart disease. They seem to push Nexletol in this article…but there are other ways besides expensive pharmaceuticals. Take good care of yourself, ❤️ and mind. #heartdisease #statins #mindfulness #stress ❤️❤️❤️

Do you speak #lipids ? #CLEAROutcomes is online. A new validated option for #Statins intolerance. Obviously better in fixed combination with #Ezetimibe. Proven efficacy on #MACE. Expected and confirmed benefits according to magnitude of decrease/time exposure

I remember you guys had a doctor in the podcast, I don't remember whom.
Above lecture is a good addition.
Everything makes sense after watching, in how people got in such a bad shape.
I feel so betrayed while I have no metabolism issues myself at all, but the loved ones around me and advices I copied and gave which were blatant lies.
