Wow, I do know about LP(a) but I didn’t know you could lower it on your own. Great job! It’s genetic, right?

My cholesterol is pesky high, genetic so it always has been. My understanding of that is the typical risk calculators don’t really apply because they assume you have acquired (accumulated) high numbers. I know mine has been high forever so my life-time accumulated impact is much higher than someone else my age with my numbers who has acquired theirs.

Mine is inherited, too. My dad and grandfather died of heart attacks. My cholesterol has always been on the high side. But, my good cholesterol has always been high as well (life style?). It was my internist that gave credibility to my ratio.
