Don’t judge by the tests: Dr. Myasnikov explains who really needs to take statins

“If a 35-year-old comes in with cholesterol 6 (the cholesterol level is 3.6-5.2 mmol / l. – Take good care.), but at the same time he doesn’t smoke, he has a normal build, he doesn’t have blood pressure, I don’t prescribe him statins. And a 50-year-old man comes with pain and high blood pressure, and I give him statins,” explained the cardiologist.
