Yes it can, I was on Lipitor for years and one day I experienced Atrial Fibrulation, the doctors said it was caused by alcohol so I gave up the drink. I had three more episodes over two years and then they stopped but I continued having Heart Palps and Ectopic beats. The doctor said he can perform an ablation procedure and that will fix the ectopic beats, if it bothered me we can do it now he said. I thought I would wait to see if it got worse, then one day after I had my bloods checked the doc noticed that my liver enzymes were up a bit, he said ''it could be lipitor so lets put you on Crestor'' I thought ''STUFF IT'' I;ve had enough of these pills so I just stopped taking them and decided to eat better, drink fish oil and have a sip of vinegar daily, on the second day after I stopped Lipitor I noticed that my ectopic beats had stopped, my palps had stopped my heart rate changed for the better, I noticed that my legs felt better, stronger, even my sex drive improved and even became stronger if you know what I mean. Lipitor did all this I dont care what anyone says, I will never take statin drugs again.

Why are some babys burn with a defictive heart?

Congenital (or 'at birth') heart defects are the most common of all birth defects. They affect the shape of the heart, how it operates, or both. Roughly 40,000 babies each year are born with a heart defect, and roughly 4,800 of those babies are born with critical congenital heart disease (CCHD), which can be deadly if not treated within the first few hours or days of life. Most heart defects can be treated very easily. Now, why does this happen? Well, it can relate to a problem with Mom. If Mom has diabetes, lupus, phenylketonuria (PKU), is obese, or has rubella in the first few months of pregnancy it can cause heart defects in the baby. Also, changes in the baby's genes or chromosomes can cause defects. The most common are down syndrome, noonan syndrome, turner syndrome, and alagille syndrome. The problem isn't always with Mom or the baby, though. The problem can be an environment-related issue. Drinking alcohol or smoking during pregnancy can lead to defects in the child. Also, certain medicines have been known to cause defects; it would be wise to talk to your provider about the effects of certain medicines during pregnancy.
