[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 1177128, member: 223921"] Have read that this is so and would not dismiss it out of hand. Also as I have Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm with stents implanted the stents can raise risk of stroke or heart attack them selves and as they are a fix not a cure the aneurysm is still there stents can eventually leak. statins have been shown to increase the survival rate from ruptured aneurysms slightly I shall probably continue to take them even though I do have reservations about them. By the way Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms are usually completely asymptomatic till they rupture there is no way of knowing if you have one unless you have a scan and they like many other things tend to run in families.
