I’d get a CT calcium scan before starting a statin.
If the score is zero, then your warranty period for that score is 15 years (if you are not diabetic - if you are, then the warranty period for that zero score is only 5 years).
I wouldn’t take a statin if there is no coronary calcium, as primary prevention of coronary events in this population is of very low yield. If there is calcium, there is better evidence that the statin will confer a benefit.
If you have zero ischemia you’re damn lucky and don’t need statins for sure
Thank your DNA and ancestry
I’ll tell you a corallary I’ve noticed
Folks with high collagen naturally tend to have ancestors who live much longer than usual and low rates of cardiovascular disease
My ex wife has it and her folks and grandparents have live 92-104
My second rib Annette had it on her dads age and she too shows not much aging and low blood pressure
Course she is a yoga addict for 25 years and eats little junk
Just an observation on the collagen
