Hi Rob

cheers

Subject: Cholesterol > 7.5. No family history etc
Hello
I would be grateful for advice regarding a common lipid scenario
Cholesterol above 7.5 mmol/L eg 8.3 mmol/L
No family history
Diet = good
No secondary causes
No physical signes of hyperlipidaemia
Non-smoker, normal BP, not overweight, no diabetes
Q risk 2 <10%
On the above one would assume not for statin?
Should one go by the non-HDL cholesterol as a 'marker' to commence
statin treatment then?
Many thanks
Rob
