@dianempx , thank you for your comments. I'm reading the same. Do you have high Lp(a)? What did your cardiologist suggest for you? Did he/she talk about studies underway now to treat Lp(a)?
I'm still researching this so I have good questions for a cardiologist. I understand everyone's circumstances are different and should be treated as an individual. Just curious what your cardiologist prescribed for you.

@leeosteo my doctor prescribed repatha injections which lowered mine from 129 to 103.
There are medications in study trials currently. I have moved to another state and my new cardiologist has not Heard of the new drugs which is scary . Be sure and be your own advocate . He also displayed LP(@) and said everyone could have plaque break off and just live your life and don't worry about it. My last cardiologist was very different and concerned. health care is not so good anymore

@leeosteo I do have high Lp(a) and my cardiologist recommended Repatha but did not mention studies. I declined taking Repatha for now because I don't feel it does enough and I want to wait until more information is available and those studies come up with a more effective treatment.
