Experiences with

Cardiovascular disease (CVD)

Hello, I have been advised to take statins as there is an increased risk that Lupus brings for cardiovascular disease. My cholesterol is 6 and QRISK is 5.5%. I’m 59, diagnosed with Lupus 5 years ago. Do any of you lovely people have experience of taking statins? Thank you 🙏

One difference between their group and ours, is that their group is where many of our members end up when we drop the ball and end up cardiovascular disease (CAD)! That's how I ended up there. And part of dropping that ball is not taking statins when needed.

I presume everyone here is aware of the "QRISK2 cardiovascular disease 10 year risk score" that GP surgeries provide. On NICE recommendations, if you score over 10% you are recommended to take statins.

I also have cardiovascular disease and have 5 stents . Thanks in advance.

I have cardiovascular disease and AFib, so am not sure if this class is right for me. My CVD is moderate and AF is relatively controlled. The lowest weights are 5 kilos which I seem to manage ok... but read somewhere that even that is a bit high for those with heart problems.

I also read that I have cardiovascular disease 10 year risk score of 47.2%. Which i just dont understand. Is this all caused by high bp. Most of my family has passed away before age of 60 of heart problems, and I'm 53 years of age. So I've no clue what to do.

This year it has increased to 5.16 and he has also completed a QRISK for cardiovascular disease, apparently my score is 19.31% which is moderate for a stroke or heart attack within 10 years. I have never been told about this before, is it something new?

disease Smoking and drinking can increase the risk of stroke and congestive heart failure. They can also increase blood pressure and triglyceride levels. Inflammation Smoking and drinking can increase inflammation, which can compound the effects of each habit.

Cardiovascular disease and dementia are major public health challenges that cause a significant burden on both healthcare and society. A new study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden shows that long-term use of common cardiovascular drugs is associated with lower risk of dementia later in life.

The University of Ottawa is working on a potential breakthrough in treating complex diseases like cancer and cardiovascular disease using a combination of mRNA and RNAi therapies delivered via nanoparticles.

From google: "After a year of treatment, people taking a daily dose of less than 5 mg prednisolone had twice their original risk of developing cardiovascular disease. People taking doses of more than 25 mg had six times their original risk of developing cardiovascular disease."

Data of 45 paroxysmal AF patients treated with berberine and 43 age, gender, New York Heart Association functional classification score, and concomitant cardiovascular disease matched patients treated with amiodarone were analyzed retrospectively to examine conversion rate, average conversion time, average

Taken off flecainide and started on loading dose of Amiodarone post failed cardioversion. Ablation last fall only lasted 3 months. Any comments am praying it works as I have chronic persistent afib nothing works and feel unwell most of time. 85 years in otherwise good health till I got afib. Thank
