Cholesterol targets are different if on medication?
“If you are getting secondary prevention treatment for your heart condition, you may have different LDL-
cholesterol
and non-
HDL
cholesterol
levels to aim for. The guidelines say you should aim for : LDL
cholesterol
level of 2.0mmol or less. Non-
HDL
cholesterol
level of 2.6mmol or less. “

Cholesterol Levels?
I’ve read that as the liver gets worse,
cholesterol
levels drop (especially
HDL
cholesterol
). If you have had this happen, were you on medication (statins) to lower your cholesterol at the time? Thanks for any info.

My
cholesterol
HDL
is 24 mg/dL , LDL is 170 mg/dL, and my total
cholesterol
/
HDL
ratio is 8.8:1. Is it really bad? Can it be a coronary artery disease? Anyway, tomorrow I get the results from my Holter that I did last Wednesday. So you guys have any similar experience?

statin side effects
I had my NSTMI in July last year, started on Rosuvastatin 40mg which were reduced to 20mg and then 10mg due to my low
cholesterol
levels. My numbers last week were
HDL
& LDL 1.4. Triglycertates 1.1. Thank you
