Hi Vu ..well done on the Vascepa script.

What LDL target is your cardiologist aiming for ?...vs what was it pre " event "

Heres the latest EU guidelines ....LDL <55mg/dl ......!!!...not sure you'll get there on statins alone .
Note their recommendation for Vascepa ...citing Reduce It ...even tho Vascepa is not currently available in the EU

LDL-C
Very-high risk in primary or secondary prevention:
A therapeutic regimen that achieves =50% LDL-C reduction from baselineb and an LDL-C goal of <1.4 mmol/L (<55 mg/dL).

54 Recently, the REDUCE-IT trial194 demonstrated that in statin-treated patients with high CV risk with fasting TG levels between 135–499 mg/dL (1.52–1.63 mmol/L), high-dose icosapent ethyl, a highly purified and stable EPA (2 g) taken b.i.d., significantly reduced the risk of ischaemic events, including CV death, by about one-quarter over a median follow-up of 4.9 years.

You may have to join some of us in the PCSK9 plus Vascepa posse .
