Cadio cath 30%lad blood works normal put on statins can i replace that with fish oil or natural alternative if so what and how much, is 30%lad bad. ta

No,and maybe: Stains will significantly lower LDL and stabilize plaques and may even cause regression of the plaque. Primary prevention with statins is also well documented. No other agent or class has this data. 30 percent is not bad due to the fact its not blocking flow but can rupture and cause a heart attack.
