Four stages of congestive heart failure are Stage A, B, C, D. Stage A and B are pre heart failure stages when persons do not have symptoms but have predilection to heart failure such as Diabetes, Hypertension, obesity, alcohol abuse, heart blocks and family history of heart failure. Stage C is when persons have symptoms, diagnosed with heart failure and responding to treatment. Stage D is when persons have advanced symptoms that may not get better with treatment.

I'm worried because my triglycerides level is at 360, and I don't know how to get it down. I've been taking cod liver oil tablets every day, but nothing's changing. What else can I do to lower it?

it takes time

I'm wondering if taking 40 mg of atorvastatin for just 5 days is enough to lower triglycerides and VLDL levels? Is it safe to then stop the medication abruptly after such a short time? I'm just worried about the correct dosage and whether this approach is effective or if it might cause any issues.

take statins for 2 to 3 months minimum to get a good response. 5 days medicine will not give desirable benefits.
