(separating this out) I agree with you heavily here: "Also, I don't believe the claim that physicians don't care about CVD risk in patients <40yo including high blood pressure and high cholesterol." Seems odd over all. My physician, unprompted, wanted to put me on a statin when I was very healthy and in my early 30s just to lower my risk as my cholesterol numbers were trending up at the time. Whether or not this calculator actually works for those under 40, physicians certainly still prescribe statins, evaluate heart health risks, and communicate on the dangers of poor heart health to individuals all the time anyways. |
