Your doctor is looking at your overall cardiovascular risk. Even with normal cholesterol, having an inflammation marker (CRP) of 2 combined with your father?s history of early heart surgery at age 40 increases your risk for future heart issues. Rosuvastatin does more than just lower cholesterol; it also reduces inflammation in your blood vessels, which helps prevent plaque buildup. Taking a low daily dose of 5mg is a very safe, proactive step to protect your heart. I highly recommend discussing these protective benefits with your doctor.
