Do The New Guidelines For

Statins Make Sense?

by Dr. Michael Murray

Introduction

The American Heart Association (AHA) and

American College of Cardiology (ACC)

released four new guidelines dealing with the

prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD)

by better assessing risk and by managing cho-

lesterol, lifestyle, and weight.

The big news is that doctors are now being

urged to move away from specific targets for

cholesterol and instead focus on clinical

assessment of risk.

Unfortunately, the misguided recommenda-

tion will be to increase the focus on prescrib-

ing statins. Under the current guidelines,

statins are recommended for about 15 per-

cent of adults. With the new guidelines 44

percent of men and 22 percent of women

would meet the criteria for taking a statin.

The answer to the question “Do the New

Guidelines for Statins Make Sense” is yes

only if the criteria is providing further big

profits to the drug industry. Honestly, I think

more than anything the new guidelines are

an acknowledgement of the failure of statins

to produce an increase in life expectancy for

75% of the patients the drugs are being pre-

scribed to.

In my opinion, increasing the number of

Americans being prescribed statins will only

increase the number of people these drugs

will provide absolutely no benefit to and like-

ly further increase the problem of statin-

induced side effects.

Background Data:

There is no question that elevated choles-

terol and triglyceride levels greatly increase

the risk of death due to cardiovascular dis-

ease (CVD). Yet while the drug companies

would like us all believe that it’s as simple as

taking a statin drug to reduce your risk of a

heart attack or stroke, it’s just not that sim-

ple. Cholesterol-lowering statin drugs are sold

primarily under the premise that they will

save lives by lowering cholesterol levels, but

in reality they have not demonstrated an

ability to extend life in over 75% of the

patient population these drugs are currently

prescribed for.

Annual sales of these drugs now exceed

$25 billion. They are a huge profit generator

for the drug companies. Without a doubt the

creation of the statin drug empire is perhaps

the greatest accomplishment of the modern

drug era. But, this is an achievement the

drug companies and doctors should be

ashamed of.

While high cholesterol is an important risk

factor, it is important to note that more than

half of people dying from a heart attack or

stroke have low to normal cholesterol levels.

The drug companies’ and government’s prior

response to this fact is to lower the suggested

target cholesterol levels even further, thereby

effectively casting an even wider net for

potential customers. With the new guide-

lines, it is obvious that the goal is to turn as

many Americans as possible into patients

hooked on statins.

It is very interesting that the majority of the

expert members of the panel that drafted the

new guidelines had either received grants

from or were paid consulting or speakers’

fees by the companies that make some of the
