questions regarding taking statins became T2D 7 years ago due to prednisone and recently been advised to go back on statins from a cardiologist my CT-A scan shows I have a blockage in my LAD arteries cac score 255 recommended to go on statin and aspirin evern so I'm allergic to aspirin so I'm not impressed... he wrote to my GP about taking them but doesn't want to see me again. I'm wondering if I should take them especially when you hear about the many side effects. My GP has provided me documentation from the UPTODATE web page on lipoprotein cholesterol (ldl-c) in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease to read so I can make a decision. Was wondering if anyone has any information on the secondary Prevention of taking statins thank you
