MARCO Grand Rounds for 7/26/09

From Warren, KD4GUA:

Last week we discussed the 15 risk factors in developing heart disease. The question: Would you prescribe a STATIN drug to a person with a HIGH Cholesterol, a HIGH HDL Cholesterol and a normal LDL Cholesterol. The answers seemed to reflect an individual response, i.e., according to what co-morbid (other diseases or risk factors) the person had.

This was an acceptable answer. This Sunday we will further the discussion as to the roll each plays, i.e,. (that is) LDL, VLDL, HDL etc. Since this is an environment we all live in there should be a lot of questions--and answers. Tune in should be fun. Aether is in your mail box.
