1) I have had no cardiac event in my lifetime...but had, before V scrip, the plaque described in 5} in 1 neck artery that never caused angina, MI etc.
2) I am a T1-D since 1957
3) I have a risk factor-- family history of father and his 3 sisters death from early CVD, father with HA at age 51 after 1st HA at 41.
4) I have been on a statin for years, no stent; TGs are in post 117234.
