Have 68% blockage of an artery - stent threshold is 70%, so MD put me on statins to keep it from getting worse.

I'm 64, excellent health and weight and eat a rational diet, don't drink or smoke.

So statins was the route for me - no other way to keep the sludge manageable.

Do you know the cause of the blockage? Is it calcium and/or soft plaque?

There are healthy ways to remove both, but it takes time.
