2nd on Davies. He did my aneurysm/valve replacement. You probably need to be dealing with a UAB/hospital/surgical type practice going forward, After my first open heart, they spotted a dilation/growing aneurysm. I asked when I might need surgery - 2 years? 2 months? My cardiologist replied To-morrow?? Got my attention.
I understand the objections to statins, but since my stroke cause by my second open heart surgery, I'm literally taking medicines to offset the side effects to other medicines.
Don't get serious health advice on a hunting forum.
I don’t disagree with this. I should clarify that I believe statins are widely over prescribed simply for high cholesterol individuals without other significant risks of heart disease. Without significant and proven statiscal advantage, your body and brain is healthier without statin drugs than with.
