My wife is a very healthy active 71 YO. Plays pickle ball several times per week, walks, and does yoga. LDL is also on the high side, but not that bad. Most websites that I have referenced concur with the following statement:

"A high MPO level, which some laboratories consider greater than 539 pmol/L, signifies substantial inflammation and a heightened risk for a heart attack or stroke in the near future. This risk is independent, meaning it provides information beyond what is learned from cholesterol panels or blood pressure readings."

Hence my concern. Based on this I would have expected a more aggressive approach.
