A member asked:
I'm 31 years old have had bp and cholesterol whole life am i to young for cad? should i start statins and beta blocker
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CAD: The short answer is no you are not too young to have CAD. The longer answer is based upon your family history, your history, your lifetime risk, your cholesterol panel, your blood pressure , etc. this requires a discussion with your doctor about the utility of just placing you on medications based on risk which is beyond this forum.
