TTE - That works for me. At one point I was one of those who declined statins, deterred mostly by concerns about their impact on mental acuity, and also by the belief that much of statins' benefit was anti-inflammatory, as explained by JL, and I'd rather get that with V. I did start taking a very low-dose statin recently after reports that feared adverse statin side-effects had likely been exaggerated, especially re mental acuity, and increased confidence in statin benefit, as reflected by remarks by Bhatt and others in a post-AHA scientific session video where they agreed evidence was strong for advising statins to drive LDL down to 70. (BTW, that same video also commented favorably on the continuing benefits of the balloon pump JL played a key role in developing years ago.

balloon pump mentioned around 6 minutes in.)
