I recently learned that my father did early research on #statins in his biochemistry lab at the University of Cincinnati in the mid-70’s, medicine which he also later took himself.

It often starts with a routine check-up. You’re feeling fine, maybe just in for your annual physical. We run some blood work, and then the results come back. #atherosclerosis #cardiovasculardisease #hearthealth #highcholesterol #Hypercholesterolemia #LDLcholesterol #Statins

My GP has prescribed statins. After a discussion, I was convinced I should take them.

But I got home, read the accompanying leaflet, and now I'm not so sure...

It sounds as though I'm casting into the ether for medical advice, which is ridiculous, but I just can't seem to settle my mind.

I think what I'm saying might be this: the people who've carried out these RCTs on statins did significance tests for the difference from zero cognitive effect; but maybe what they should have been doing were significance tests for the difference from the cognitive effect one would expect from achieving the same reduction in LDL/reduction in triglycerides/increase in HDL by other means? #statins #dementia #cognitiveDecline

Let's see if there's a biomedical fediverse. Weird question: if randomized controlled trials find that statins have no statistically significant effect on rates of cognitive decline or incident dementia, does that really mean "no effect", or might it mean "the known cognitive benefits of the changes in blood lipid profile due to the statins are being exactly cancelled by a (harmful) direct neurological action of the statins"? #statins #dementia #cognitiveDecline

For more than a decade, #statins have been all the rage among doctors prescribing meds to lower the risk of heart attacks and other heart problems. But—oops—way too many people are on them, new research suggests.

Our resident doctor sorts through the mess so you can decide if you should see your doctor to learn if you might need statins, or if you might be eligible to get off them.

are valuable medicines proven in very large controlled trials to benefit patients - including as measured by all-cause mortality.

But they can cause myalgia (muscle pain) in some of us ... but how are we to know if it's the drug or from other causes?

A simple blood test for creatine kinase (CK), can help:
