40 female - deciding if I should do a CACscan before starting statins.

LP(a): 83 nmol/L

LDL: 95 mg/dL

ApoB: 81 mg/dL

HbA1c: 5.8%

HDL: 57 mg/dL

Non HDL: 114 mg/dL

Blood pressure is usually normal 110/60–70.

Doc suggested 20mg rosuvastatin and reasoned that is the lowest dose that has shown to reduce plaque formation, plaque stabilization and reduction over time. Lower doses may make your LDL numbers look better but do not affect the real problem that is the plaque in the arteries.

Thoughts?
