Thanks, ginger.
My GP did not quantify the risk, he simply told me that I would have a heart attack.
I am a bit sceptical about the risk/benefits of statins in those who have not had a heart attack yet, so I looked up and found the Qrisk thing myself. I am an ex-vet, so I understand a good chunk of medical stuff and to me, if the Qrisk is reasonable then the argument in favour seems very thin.
Are you saying, Gingernut, that with an overall risk of 10% as taken from the Qrisk, it would be unusual to prescribe statins?
Thanks,
Mister not quite blue yet.
