Anyone else out there with extremely high lipoprotein (a)?

Hi! My LPA was 460 nmol/L. Cardiac calcium score was over 750 with the majority being in the LDA Aka widow maker. Family history of fatal MIs, I have 2 cardiac stents now. I was lucky and I did not suffer a MI.
I’m 58 in good health, normal BMI, vegetarian, active… probably the reason I’m still around.
LDL hovers at 70. Though my docs want it at 55. I believe the AHA suggests that as well with LPA.
Sadly I can’t tolerate statins. I take a PCSK 9 inhibitor.
Hopeful for the meds to come out (forgot the trial name) next year.
Keep the faith!

If I didn’t reply already here I did somewhere else, but I will say it again. I can’t take statins Either so I asked for the LEVQIO. I also can’t do gluten or lactose and I can’t remember if that’s what qualified me for the Le Vecchio but it is awesome. Awesome. Awesome awesome. Dramatically changed my cholesterol and all its components in three months, the LPa might take longer to reverse itself as you get kind of a dump in your bloodstream as it loosens and exits your body on my second or third LP test after starting the LEVQIO I am now changing in a positive direction and lowering my LPa! good luck eat a lot of salmon and little fish in cans!.
