@19281928 SO true! My high cholesterol comes from my mother's side who was 1 of 13 children with a total of 42 offspring (my cousins), none of whom have or died from heart disease. It just doesn't make sense. My MD sent me to a cardiologist because of my high Lp(a) and he contradicted (but caught) himself to try to get me on Repatha but I am not biting because I agree, they just don't know enough yet. Repatha is supposed to only take Lp(a) down 20%, but statins raise it by 20% so isn't that a wash? MUCH more info is needed.
