Singer Scott Weiland has blamed “big egos” on his acrimonious departure from Velvet Revolver according to GigWise.com.

Weiland left the band following their European tour earlier this year in order to rejoin his original group the Stone Temple Pilots and record a solo album.

At the time, Velvet Revolver said Weiland was sacked because he wasn't “100% committed” to either the band's music and fans.

Statins - Heart Drugs May Reduce Risk of Heart Attack!

San Francisco - (CriticalNewsNow) Millions of Americans walk the line when it comes to heart disease and heart attack risk. Statins are one of the tools that doctors hope can manage that risk of heart attack. The drug Crestor was the subject of this study that brings good news to those at possible risk.

Today a study done at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and soon to be in The New England Journal of Medicine

According to the LA Times,
"In results from an eagerly anticipated study that could dramatically change the treatment of cardiovascular disease, researchers have found that statin drugs -- now given to millions of people with high cholesterol -- can halve the risk of heart attacks and stroke in seemingly healthy patients as well.

The study of nearly 18,000 people with normal cholesterol found that the drugs, already among the most widely prescribed in the United States, lowered their risk of death from heart disease by 20 percent, suggesting that millions more people should be put on a daily regimen.

A simple $20 blood test can spot those seemingly healthy people who could benefit from the drugs.

"These are very, very dramatic findings," said Dr. Elizabeth G. Nabel, director of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, who was not involved in the study.

Said Paul Ridker of the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston: "The potential public health benefits are huge."

As a heart attack sufferer I follow this info closely so as to not become a victim again to those chest pains of a heart attack. I take statins and want to know the latest info on using this drug for prevention.
