Hi, i am female aged 50 yrs. i had heart attack 4 years ago which resulted in as stent. have been quite well since however suffer from high cholesterol regardless of good diet. several statins have given me bad side effects. which is the best and gives less side effects.
Hello, The benefit of statin post angioplasty is established without doubt and should be offered to all patients. Of all the statin rosuvastatin in minimum dose and maybe alternate days may be considered if muscle ache was the main side effect. If liver enzymes were raised significantly at any time, avoid all statin. Regards
