My suggestion for anyone who has high LP (a) and asymptomatic, to go through Heart CT Angio, which is non-intrusive test and does 2 things:
- Tells calcium deposit score (ideally 0)
- Looks deposits in heart arteries and pics of vales
Gives you a sense whats going on inside. Fortunately, mine came as 22 (not ideal but not bad) and condition of arteries looks ok with CT with some minor plaques. Me and my cardiologist now focus on prevention vs any kind of treatment.

@tauceti
You mention working together with your cardiologist to focus on prevention. I love that!

My lifestyle is what keeps me going and helps me live my best life.

What does “prevention” currently look like for you?
