Pigs valve for heart 6 years ago and tia why does my ldl have to be under 2.0 some docs say cholesterol is nothing to do with strokes /heart thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What docs?: Over 30 years of data has definitely associated vascular disease with hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia. Search Drs. Neil Stone and PK Singh's works for review articles, and many, many others. Those who advocate "cholesterol is nothing to do with strokes/heart", if physicians, should have to return their medical degrees or go back to school.
