I consider this, "No longer can a GP doctor or a primary care, doctor discuss serious heart problems, and prevention with you." to be incredibly inaccurate. I can assure you my PCP and I would bet most PCPs are more than able to discuss this topic effectively. Are there cardiologists who are more knowledgeable? Sure, but your blanket statement demeans the incredible capabilities and knowledge levels of even the average PCP.
Very nicely stated! I do have somewhat high LDL that my doctor thinks is familial. I have been thoroughly checked out by a cardiologist who even had me undergo an angiogram assuming that I had heart blockage because I had heart PVC's for awhile that was causing shortness of breath. The angiogram showed that I had absolutely no blockage anywhere in my heart so my doctors are no longer worried about my slightly elevated LDL numbers and, as you stated, a knowledgeable cardiologist cares much more about triglycerides (and the other fractional numbers you mentioned) than total or LDL cholesterol.
