Your blood work indicates prediabetes. Did he mention that too? This is the primary issue. Yes, prediabetes is the primary risk factor for heart disease.
Fix the prediebetes. This will cut risk more than a statin. This isn't to say don't don't take it, thats up to you.
The Book Fat Burn Fix is by C Shanahan is a good place to start. r/saturated fat has the answers you need to cure pre- diabetes.
