Unveiling the Paradox: Do Statins Fuel the Fire of Heart Disease?

This is a deep dive 🧵into the mechanistic relationship between statins and coronary heart disease.

#statins #CVD #heartdisease #cholesterol #mitochondria Image
The ‘bad & good cholesterol hypothesis’ has lost its foundation.

Although lowering the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio is possible with drugs such as statins, this is not effective in preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Proxy measurements such as LDL-C are a breeding ground for scientific arrogance.

Does the measurement really mean what you think it means?

Have you looked into the assumptions that connect the proxy and the real thing?

Let's dig in.

Statins, given like Halloween candy to those with >10% risk of CVD, can cause insulin resistance & diabetes.

A prime example of "double think".

This 🧵 explores how statins impede insulin sensitivity & damage our pancreas.

#statins #diabetes #T2DM #CVD #cholesterol Image
Let's start off by reminding ourselves that diabetes and the broader category of metabolic syndrome is one of the leading risk factors for CVD.

Any drug that claims to be protective of CVD, should not be impeding insulin sensitivity.
Statins are associated with increased incidence of T2DM, 10-28% in some studies.

One way this happens is by a reduction in insulin secretion - a hormone that facilitates glucose uptake from the bloodstream into cells. Image

(2/75) Why does #GlobalCardiacSurgery matter?

⚠️ Every year, 18 million people die from #CVD

🫀 500 million live with CVD; 100s of millions more to come.

🏥 Up to 1/3 will require #CTSurgery or interventional care in lifetime

You asked, so I'll deliver. This is what I know about responsible disclosure/#CVD/how to report security issues in other people’s software. Call it "10 Commandments of Durson" if you want. 🧵
1. Be verbose - more info is better. Don't assume that anyone will know what you're reporting from context. Include as many details and as much background as possible in your report.
2. Produce - *and provide* - a proof of concept which bears out your assertions. Any decent incident responder will be fine reading a 10 page description of your findings. But if they can't reproduce them, they can't help you.
