Doctor and TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov emphasized the importance of regularly taking statins.
The doctor discussed the role of statins on the program "About the Most Important Thing" on the Rossiya 1 channel.
Responding to a viewer's question about whether she could stop taking the medication if her cholesterol levels were only slightly above normal, Myasnikov advised the woman to continue taking them, as she had medical reasons for doing so.
In conclusion, the doctor urged people not to listen to "morons on TV."
Furthermore, he stated that such doctors should be stripped of their diplomas and imprisoned for discrediting medicine.
Earlier, Myasnikov emphasized the need for emergency high-dose statin therapy, as dyslipidemia is a key trigger for atherosclerotic changes in blood vessels.
