A member asked:
Hi, should i take crestor (rosuvastatin) even if my cholesterol levels are normal to low and hs crp level .037 . yet i have plaque buildup in one artery?

Yes depends on rest: Just depends on the rest of your condition. You need to discuss this with your physician or cardiologist. It appears to me they're trying to unblock the plaque buildup.

Plaque: if you have definite plaque, the Crestor (rosuvastatin) should help keep it from progressing locally and generally
