It's possible Uffe Ravnskov's hypothesis that bacterial infection is the cause of heart disease is going to turn out correct.
A possible mechanism is detailed here.

If this new theory holds up then higher 25(OH)D vitamin d levels that enable the body to better upregulate the anti microbial peptides that fight bacteria infection will be a better option than statins.
Statins do have an antibiotic actions (which may explain why they help reduce heart deaths) but as lower cholesterol levels associate with higher all cause mortality their cholesterol lowering action is dangerous for older people particularly.
