I am 72, had a heart attack 16 years ago, and had angioplasty at Cleveland Clinic.  My LDL was over 100 and HDL was in the low 30s.  I take rosuvastatin and now my LDL is below 70, but my HDL has been driven down also, to 22.  I am unable to raise HDL independent of LDL.  Is it more important to control LDL below 70 and let HDL find its own level?  [electronic resource]
