thanks for the response.

It turns out that my diet is ok (I do in fact eat salmon twice a week), my weight is fine, I never smoke, and I am not a couch potato although I could exercise more. My family history includes some CAD although the past generation still lived to 90.

And I am not at all surprised that you suggested that I increase my statins and take Vascepa. But the purpose of the question was to test your confidence in the incremental benefit of 70 vs 100 LDL compared to the anti-inflammatory benefits of Vascepa.

Fwiw, I am not seeking medical advice from anyone here, MD or layman. But if you had to choose just one, which would you select? Higher statin or Vascepa given that I am already at LDL of 100 which until recently was the targeted level?

(my gut tells me that Vascepa would provide a greater benefit but I'm still interested in your opinion)
