HomeAgain: I'm betting that your lifestyle is far different from that of your dad. My mother died at age 34 of heart failure, similar age to her sister, and my father passed at age 70, also heart related. I've seen studies saying lifestyle beats genes 75% or more, which is where I focus at age 69. I am on the 3 drug regimen (statin/ezitimibe/Repatha) with no side effects and amazing blood results. Along with my diet and exercise, I'm OK with whatever happens.
