Dr. Sinatra To Statin or Not To Statin

drsinatra.com

It seems the more that--™s written on statins, the more confused people get. Well, my position is that statins have their place, but are often inappropriately overprescribed by physicians. For people with established heart disease, statins can be a true blessing and add years to their lives. But the current overprescribing of statins for patients who merely have high cholesterol may actually be raising the incidence of heart failure.

After completing his medical degree at Georgetown University, Richman moved to his native home of Los Angeles to complete his general surgery residency at the University of Southern California (USC) School of Medicine. He then completed a fellowship in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital at the University of Miami.

Having performed nearly 1,000 cardiac bypass procedures throughout his career, Richman has always maintained a strong interest in the preventative aspect of cardiac care, namely cholesterol (lipid) management. As a long-standing member of the National Lipid Association, Richman started The Center for Cholesterol Management in August 2005 in order to focus exclusively on preventative care and management for those who may be at risk for heart disease.


The Center for Cholesterol Management provides state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment for patients with lipid disorders. This multi-disciplinary team approach to lipid treatment comprises the efforts of physicians, nurses, dietitians, and physical therapists to offer preventative and management care for patients with high cholesterol, heart disease and those at risk for developing coronary artery disease." /> Michael Richman, MD, FACS, FCCP Active Health Library, Doctor, Surgeon, and Physician
