[QUOTE="Jo123, post: 97179, member: 13144"] Ages ago when my mum was prescribed statins I was researching them online and read a very interesting article which stated that research had found that the main effect of statins in reducing heart attacks was that it reduced inflammation and also stabilized the soft plaque in arteries which is far more likely to break off and cause a heart attack than the hard plaque which was far less likely to break off. The article stated that the reduction of cholesterol was not so important in reducing risk. Can't find article now but it was interesting. [/QUOTE]
