Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Your LDL is high and so is the triglyceride level. Both increase the risk of getting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents (heart attack and stroke). You need to discuss with your doctor about taking statins like rosuvastatin with a combination of fenofibrate.

Let me know if I could help further.
