Any women with high CAC scores?

I have much higher CAC score, over 950. Had a NSTEMI over 5 years ago despite a good diet and exercise. Genetics and stress ruled. Did your doc test for Lp(a)? Another risk factor separate from LDL. I am doing well on Repatha and Nexletol now. I even got on a clinical trial for high Lp(a). I think it is all helping.
Keep the faith!

Hello, I have just come across your comment.
Did your doctor only want to lower the LDL level or also (or even mainly) the Lp(a) level? I would be very happy to hear your answer!
