While there are seven statins on the market, I tend to start with rosuvastatin (Crestor) and only pivot from that if there is some negative effect from the drug (e.g., a symptom or biomarker). My goal is aggressive: as rationalized by Peter Libby, I want to knock someone’s B concentration down to 20 or 30 mg/dL, about where it would be for a child. - Peter-Attia/outlive
