[|Human|] I have taken medication for abnormal cholesterol for a numbe of years. I am now 81 and was diagnosed by CT scan with a small abdominal aectasia and extensive plaque along most of the aorta.  I have been taking Crestor 5 mg for a few months.  It was increased to 10 mg.  Tests yesterday show that LDL had decreased from 70 to 17. What is the treatment?
[|AI|]  Hello, Small abdominal Eurasia can be because of atherosclerosis and both are due to age related wear and tear. As such there is No lower limit for LDL.  Studies have found LDL even lower than 50 had no side effects and decreased atherosclerotic progression. The guidelines recommend that LDL should be kept below 70. I would recommend that you may decrease the dose of Creator to 5 mg. That should suffice and would give you optimum benefit. More than by all means is not required. Regards Chat Doctor.  Body
