>> 7% increase vs. 4% increase with Lipitor alone - these are small numbers compared with Niaspan. My HDL's rose from 41 to 65. (on 2gm Niaspan) UP 58% What difference would raising HDL 58% make in heart attacks, strokes, etc, and the costs of cath lab procedures? We can't answer that question with any precision. But to me the import is clear that we should be doing more to prevent these injuries and the cost of them. Niaspan is part of the answer - IMHO. ij
