[QUOTE="TheBigNewt, post: 1674280, member: 380756"] Effective in reducing the likelihood of another coronary event (heart attack, stent, bypass) by roughly 30%. Effective enough that another randomized trial using statins vs placebo in CAD patients will never be done because it would be unethical to randomize people to receive placebo. What do you think the prognosis of the guy I saw yesterday who had a bypass at age 43 was at that time AFTER he had suffered a heart attack? He takes Lipitor 80mg/d and is 54 working full time in a casino security 11 years later and has not had any stents or heart attacks. His LDL is now 100mg/dl. Imagine what it was before Lipitor, probably 200. Don't bore me with the "LDL isn't important" stuff. Please. [/QUOTE]
