My question covers a very big topic regarding the cholesterol drugs that are meant to control high ldl cholesterol counts caused by both diet and hereditary. In my specific case, I take Vytorin 10/40, and since taking this drug my cholesterol numbers are, in my doctor's words, 'perfect'... ldl below 75, hdl above 50, tri's are excellent. I also control my cholesterol with diet and exercise, and formerly I had extremely high cholesterol and poor ratios. However, I continue to have problems with CAD, I'm averaging a stent every four months. All this confuses me greatly. Can you enlighten me a bit regarding this study? Are you encouraging your patients to take a different statin drug?
Thank you for this forum.
