They are in clinical trials for drugs for Lpa now. Something should be coming out soon. PcSk9 inhibitors like Repatha has shown to reduce Lp (a) (lipoprotein [a]) levels by 25% to 30%
People don't have heart attacks that are statins and have low cholesterol. If you are eating the same way you did before it's the inflammation that causes soft plaque to rupture that leads to heart attacks.

I stand corrected about Repatha. But, I can’t take it due to extreme side effects. But, Yes, it's possible to have a heart attack even if you have low cholesterol. In fact, most heart attacks occur in people with normal cholesterol levels. Statins do not lower LP(a). I have read about some trials for drugs that lower LP(a), but trials scare me.
