[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1151284, member: 196898"] There is that recent study that shows a high TC has a higher risk of hemorragic stroke, but lower ischemic stroke especially in the elderly. I think it is the same trial you are referring to. LDL forms part of the TC calculation, so increase in LDL also raises TC. We cannot glibly ignore LDL completely yet, I'm afraid. The same study shows women have less risk due to LDL, but the risk is not zero. I think that if Ezetimibe lowers LDL without affecting HDL, then it could still be worth considering, especially since it does the other good stuff, and has virtually no reported side effects (unlike statins).
