| Feb 2, 2017 at 23:13 | comment | added | Richard Stanzak | The role of blood cholesterol levels in coronary heart disease and the true effect of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs are debatable. In particular, whether statins actually decrease cardiac mortality and increase life expectancy is controversial.the global prevalence of CHD, despite worldwide statin usage and cholesterol lowering campaigns, has reached pandemic proportions. Coronary heart disease is an extremely complex malady and the expectation that it could be prevented or eliminated by simply reducing cholesterol appears unfounded. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4513492 | |
