Hi @gerhardus. I see this is your first post on Mayo Clinic Connect. Welcome! I am so glad you are around after your severe heart attack, able to join this discussion about elevated LP(a). You have found a good place to share experiences.
If you haven’t already, you may want to check out discussions related to your carnivore eating style. I am so glad it is working for you. I typed “carnivore diet” into the search box on the home screen and found several conversations.

Also, Mayo Clinic promotes long-term evidence based eating and provides good related information. Their perspective comes from what is proven to lower risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure. These are all positives for folks dealing with the additional risk associated with elevated lipoprotein (a).
