Alastair-I'll break my rule not to respond to you as it's always wasted effort. For others, red circled sentence makes no sense. Table 2: FH not on lipid
meds
with CAD, LDL=240
w/o CAD: LDL=221
How can=LDL in CAD vs non-CAD = LDL causes CAD?

another: Analysis of lipid metabolism and its impact on the risk of IHD in patients with FH; Athero Supp 30 (2017) 56-62 No diff in LDL-C between FH w vs w/o IHD or MI high LP(a) = >3x IHD and 5x risk of MI FH smokers = 1.7x IHD and 3.36 x MI rate obese FH = 2.5X all indep of LDL

1) That paper's written by pharma employees (see COI); and 2) Here's a scholarly rebuttal to the EAS statement: Pharmacol 2018;101:184–218; "A Critical Review of the Consensus Statement from the EAS Consensus Panel" just consider the possibility you've been hoodwinked by pharmapic.twitter.com/jC3oUupjol

Their place of employment is listed as universities but their COI makes it clear their anti-LDL bias and $ come from Pharma

Your argument is circular "They are biased therefore they are paid by pharma therefore they are biased"
