Chas ...suggest you read Dr Ballantyne

http://www.clevelandheartlab.com/blog/horizons-the-great-debate-about-cholesterol-guidelines/

As an example

If he was treating those in JELIS he would have aimed for dropping their LDL levels by 50%....ie to what you see in R-IT

You fail to understand ( or choose to ignore ) that the medium LDL level in JELIS secondary was 178 on low dose Statins .
What would they have been with no Statins ?...over 200 ?

Appreciate your knowledge on Stats but suggest you also read Dr Ballantyne and his views on LDL levels etc and CVD risk
