@christinecaron hi Christine, so here we are four years later and I have had extensive cardiac work ups
and they are still not seeing anything concerning. I am 62 years old. I think there must be more to it than just this high number because my calcium score was zero when I first found out about my Lp (a). I haven’t even been taking a statin for two years and my recent Cardiac work up was great. I had a stress test, an echocardiogram, and an EKG. My lipids are still high, but so far no other symptoms. I panicked so much at first, and I want you to know that there is a lot more to this than just the number.

@csage1010
Thank you so much for replying. I am a 61 year old female. Also no calcium build up. Had a 0 score. Hdl has always been very high, now 90. Ldl is 99. I'm so freaked out. Haven't even heard back from a cardiologist. Blood pressure is good and I'm pretry fit. Haven't had any cardiac testing yet, but, believe it will be like you, fine. In the mean time I see info on clinical trials. Did you consider any of them? Any advise?
