Just wanted to follow up on this -- I just got my Lp(a) test back and learned that mine is very high. My LDL was 72 on 10 mg of rosuvastatin, which seemed fine before I knew my Lp(a). But now my cardiologist also added 10 mg ezetimibe to push it lower given the risks of high Lp(a). I'm glad I asked for this test!
Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. My numbers were nearly ok on 5 mg of rosuvastatin, so just increasing to the standard 10 mg dose seemed the best first step to be more aggressive about getting the numbers even lower. But I'll see how things go from there and see if adding something else makes sense!
