Probably: What was your cardiac c reactive protein level? Many authorities, believe that this is more of an indicator and predictor of heart disease than cholesterol. It's indication of inflammation around the heart., in this case statins are indicated as well and omega-3 fish oil is always very beneficial. Btw i take crestor (rosuvastatin). Unless your doctor told you not to, don't forget to take an Aspirin every day!
