Three years ago I had a CAC of 769 and total cholesterol of 240 and went on statins.
Now I have a CAC of 1,206.
Echo and CT Angio are good. 55% and no blockages.
LDL is 44 and HDL is a bit low at 40. Total is 100.
I just had my LP(a) score come in at of 206.
The follow up with my cardio and primary are several months out.
I have read conflicting information about the ability to change LP(a).
I am wondering if Repatha is a consideration.
57 y.o., physically active and have a low carb, low saturated fat diet (6'1" and 180 lbs) Family hx of arteriolscholerosis and stroke.

If you are eating a good diet - your CAC will increase. You want the soft plaque to calcify. It's the soft plaque that can rupture and lead to heart attacks or strokes.
