So, with the continued failure of of cholesterol lowering meds (recently ACCORD-Lipid) to reduce CV events it really appears thatcholesterol is really just a biomarker of cardiovascular health and what I see new coming out only supports this theory.
What I think is that cardiovascular vascular oxidization stress and endothelial dysfunction is really what we want to lower if we want to see improved outcomes and it just happens that statins do this to some extent.
Is it time to discard the lipid-hypothesis and look for a new root cause of CVD?
