WASHINGTON Cardiologists not associated with the White House said Wednesday that President Trumps physical exam revealed serious heart concerns, including very high levels of so-called bad cholesterol, which raises the risk that Mr. Trump could suffer a heart attack while in office. Dr. Ronny L. Jackson, a rear admiral and the White House physician, said Tuesday in his report on the presidents medical condition that Mr. Trump was in excellent cardiac health despite having an LDL cholesterol level of 143, well above the desired level of 100 or less. Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist at the Scripps Research Institute, disputed that rosy assessment. He said on Wednesday that the most alarming fact is that the presidents LDL levels remain above 140 even though he is taking 10 milligrams of Crestor, a powerful drug that is used to lower cholesterol levels to well below 100.

My bad Crestor= Rosuvastatin Calcium
Still it wouldn’t worry me.
Lipitor is Atorvastain
There is a winnowing process going on here: The decent from the indecent. Every day millions are given an opportunity to choose to accept myriad truth or lie and double down on lying. A merciful God is giving millions every day a chance consider themselves and the state of their hearts and do the right thing...or double down on rage.
Who can we see Hillary’s medical records?
I’m sure she is the picture of health.
Was that a real photo or photoshopped? Seems to me I remember someone saying it wasn’t actual.
Not to mention the whole high risk homo thing.
But it was okay that Obama was a smoker and a former drug user.
........But he is the leftards’ pet exotic negro POTUS and the whores in the fake news media just look the other way.
Did Kankles really have a poop spot on her skirt? It’s not photoshopped?
Wow.............I’m speechless.....
Yes indeed!
I'm good...........
The cholesterol bit is understood about as well as the climate bit.
In spite of correlations of high cholesterol to heart disease, lowering cholesterol has not demonstrated any correlation to a reduction in heart attacks.
Cholesterol, as it’s been preached, is the most useless metric around. There isn’t even one kind of LDL, there are two and one of them is not correlated with any sort of heart issues. So taken in a vacuum, it’s meaningless.
Huh? Crestor (rosuvastatin) is available in 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg tabs. Trump is a big guy. And he's taking the second-smallest dose available.
I've been taking 80mg -- the max dose -- of atorvastatin (Lipitor) for eons with no problems and I weigh less than Trump.
I'm calling your bluff on that one. What credible evidence can you come up with to prove the "former" in your allegation.
The doctor who examined him didn’t find anything, but a panel of second-guessers on the lib payroll a thousand miles away did. Better start casket shopping, Mr. President.
She owns a majority share in Weight Watchers, now. It’s part of her Master Plan to slim down and run for President. ;)
That's not the Clintons. That woman is wearing a skirt.
I don't think PIAPS has been in a skirt since Bubba's first inauguration.
Back in the 50s, the normal was 100 plus age. That would be 170 for DJT, so he’s really ok.
He’d be better off not taking the statin, which has lots of potential for problems. Limiting carbs, eating healthy protein and healthy fats would be better.
The artery clogger- calcium-vitamin k2 is needed to keep it from clogging up the blood vessels. K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin that is not found in plants, and not produced by humans.
It is found in the fat of animals that eat grass, and some fermented foods. Eggs, organic butter from grass fed cows, and cheese-especially gouda. The best source is natto - ferment Japanese dish that is slimy and smells like dirty socks.
Also useful is olive oil and nuts-especially almonds. I followed a low fat diet-like the Am. Heart Assoc. advised, and my cholesterol and triglycerides just kept getting higher.
When I lowered my carbs, raised my fat, nuts, and switched from skim milk to whole organic mild from grass fed cows, it changed to normal in 30 days. My cardiologist was astounded.
Also, cholesterol lower than 100 is considered too low, and in other countries they would be wanting it to be raised.
mild should be milk in above post.
