Pharma ping.
A very long and somewhat technical read but fascinating.
What a timely article. Thank you. I was recently Dx’d with mild “atherosclerotic calcification” in my aorta and illiac arteries.
Completely random as it came from a CT scan during an emergency hernia episode in June.
My lifestyle should not at all contribute to this condition, or at least not very much. However, I have been under great and near-constant stress for a long time, years, and especially these last 2 years. My cholesterol is at 199, I think.
Trying to get to root cause, one doc thinks a low dose of Rosuvastatin is the ticket.
I don’t want to and am trying to find any other way to lessen the condition and prevent worse. Getting rid of stress would be lovely; learning to cope with bad times might be better.
Thanks for sharing this.
