Statins stabilize plaque by some unknown means. They also deplete ubiquinone or COQ10. This depletion turns cell walls to jelly eventually (in some people). I would be wise to supplement with COq10 if one takes statins. It appears also that statins increase the sensitivity of the heart muscle to TGF-Beta. The combined effect decreases heart attacks. However cholesterol plaque will continue to form on the arteries. It would appear that inositol hexanicotinate, eating fish, avoiding cholesterol and excess carbs and fats in food will increase one's HDL and decrease one's plaque far more effectively than statins. I would only recommend a short regimen of statins and perhaps even warfarin for perhaps 6 months after a heart attack while a person loses weight and improves ones diet and exercise regimen. I would also strongly recommend beta sistosterols, soy/l-arginine and leafy greens after a CVD event. There are many thing to do to defeat cholesterol. Relying on a couple of pills and ignoring anti-oxidants, diet and exercise is a major mistake. EC<:-}
