A member asked:
Can statins negatively affect the heart ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I doubt it because I have not read any info about this side effect. Just by common sense if there is any negative effect to the heart, statins would not be recommended as the primary or secondary prophylactic treatment for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Take care.
