Hi AGB. Happy 4th of July. I asked the cardiologist for the Lipo A but not B. They don’t order any of these tests unless patients ask and the majority of people don’t have a clue what tests to ask for. I am a RN and this is why I asked. There are no drugs at this moment to treat Lipo A there are 4 right now in trials 2 of them on Phase 3. I read from Cleveland Clinic cardiologists that they have found Statins increase the Lipoprotein A much more in addition that patients taking them can develop Diabetes. That is the issue with Statins. My lipid levels have come down with the Mediterranean diet, exercise since Jan 2024. It is genetic and there is nothing I can do just keeping up what I’ve been doing.
Stay safe and healthy and enjoy the 4th of July.
