CRISPR EDIT OF PCSK9 = CURE ... Pt 2
CRISPR EDIT OF PCSK9 = CURE But what if, rather than trying to tackle PCSK9 directly, we just cut it off at the source? If we could introduce mutations to the PCSK9 gene similar to those found in the patients of the UT Southwestern researchers, it should be possible to replicate their resistance

Life after a CABG at 34...what does the long road look like?
Hey guys, So I had 2x CABG back in Jan, I'm 34, BMI 23, no family history, no life style factors. Very long story short, they aren't really sure why my LAD and RCA were diseased/occuled... a bit of arteriosclerosis, a bit of vasculitis from a previous viral illness...just your average medical mystery

Statins and underactive thyroid
I've had an underactive thyroid after radioactive iodine treatment 20+ years ago. After a recent health check - no thyroid results - but cholesterol results are 'a cause for concern'. I'm seeing the nurse next week when I expect statins will be suggested. The results are Cholesterol 6.1mmol/l

Statins and PMR
hi all, previously asked if you could take statins with pred, perhaps would have been better to have asked, with PMR. Gp now prescribed Atorvastatin over phone, said no contra-indications with pred but did not ask why I was taking pred. I assumed he had checked my notes! Now one week in and both

Proof,it isn't all bad
Hi all, just thought I would share a couple of things. Firstly, you may know I don't take this post-bypass stuff too seriously, yes I eat fruit, salad and vegetables more, I have stopped putting salt in my cooking and I do exercise a lot. But I do eat bacon, pork, steak, peanuts, boiled

Rosuvastatin Issue
I know many of us use this statin. My doc just switch us to lipitor. "The investigators compared 152,101 new users of rosuvastatin and 795,799 new users of atorvastatin (both high-intensity statins used to treat high cholesterol) from the 2011-2019 Optum Labs Data Warehouse.

Fibroscan KPA 71
I had a Fibroscan today via a clinical trial specialist. I have NAFLD, elevated LFTs hence Dr suggested Fibroscan as the next course of action. The nurse really struggled for over an hour trying to get good readings and the scores throughout the process were wild as she mentioned the KPA as 8. At

Cancer and Atherosclerosis targeting, A New Blood test to guide treatment, Targeting drug resistance in PCa
Greetings FPC folk, While drugs like statins and bempedoic acid have been shown to have a positive impact against coronary artery disease and cancer, the common link is better understood courtesy of science. A new target was found called LOX-1 and is involved with both the clogging of arteries and

statins
hi, after annual blood tests, I have been told I am high risk for a heart attack, even tho cholesterol 4.5. And have to take atarvastatin, alongside Bisoprolol and Rivaroxoban and candesartan that I already take, does anyone else take these and do you have any side effects?

Statins and Metformin for Ovarian cancer
Hello, This forum has been such a huge support for me while I go through this journey with my partner. Lately I have read some studies regarding the efficacy or metformin and statins for ovarian cancer. Seems there maybe some benefits from these drugs. Since my partner does not have high cholesterol
