High Lipoprotein(a) but CAC Score 0

@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.

@dianempx Repatha does nothing to lower LPa. Currently B3 ( niacin) is the only substance that lowers LPa ..about 15%. There are some drugs likely to be approved this year that claim to lower it by 80%.
