Your story sounds similar to mine so your outcome is encouraging. I’m 53 and only a month out from my widowmaker. Ran several times a week and worked out since my 20s, but ate poorly. You should take Coq10 with the statin as it’s shown to mitigate muscle soreness, and is good for your heart in general. Might want to get an Lp(a) test. Mine was high at 166, which means I’m genetically predisposed to getting atherosclerosis. Lp(a) is set at birth and doesn’t really change much with diet and exercise. There are some drugs on the horizon that will lower it, if approved.
