@leeosteo My high Lp(a) comes from my mother's side. She was 1 of 13 children and I am one of 42 cousins from those children, and none of those relatives died from heart disease or a heart attack. I am on statins but have a high Lp(a). One of my cousins who also has a high LDL and Lp(a) has never taken statins yet is in good health in her late 70s. So I have no explanation for this but in answer to your question, I am putting in on the back burner and live as healthy a lifestyle on statins that I can until more is known about having a high Lp(a).
