For sure. Someone who naturally has the lower LDL is more likely to have had that lower LDL for longer - being on statins necessarily indicates they had a high LDL at some point, and the damage is cumulative over your lifetime.

If you blocked your arteries before you got on a statin, it can stabilize the plaque and reduce the risk of rupture, reduce the ability for more to form and increase the blockage, and if it gets your LDL low enough, regress some of it, but it's not going to give you the same arteries as someone who never had that level of plaque deposition to begin with.
