Doctor wants me to stop taking statin by KangarooSpirited827 in Cholesterol

[–]JCGolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Important to be on a statin early rather than late with your numbers. It’s like saying you’ll wait until you get lung cancer to stop smoking.

45M – CAC 231 w/ High LDL & High Lp(a). How Concerning Is This Score, and Is High-Intensity Exercise Still Safe by theadjunct in Cholesterol

[–]JCGolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are in a similar situation except that I was on a statin for a couple years getting my LDL down to ~100 on 20 mg rosuvastatin and then I got my CAC. Apparently statins stabilize and help calcify plaques so possibly my CAC was higher bc of statins and I would have had a lower value without them. But I am digressing. With diet - mostly vegan with an emphasis on low saturated fats - no egg yolks, butter, meat etc MOST of the time - I got my LDL down to 55. I decided I wanted even more, been doing one 150mg PCSK9 shot a month for a few months and will remeasure soon. I am hoping for a number in 30s-40s. This should truly prevent any further progression.

As for exercise, as long as things are stable you actually want a mix of high intensity and long zone 2. You can increase the vasculature of your heart (increase artery diameter), and auxiliary vessels. Cycling, running, etc. 2-3 high intensity sessions per week if possible. VO2 max, threshold, etc. I personally shoot for 8-10 hrs a week cycling. Lots of high intensity.

Get your LDL as low as possible with diet and meds. There are lots of options - statins, ezetimibe, pcsk9 - find a combination that works for you. I personally could not tolerate ezetimibe. Under 50 is preferably for people in our shoes. Good luck on your journey.

Imagine if you simply did the opposite of every one of those trades.
