Hello and thank you so much for sharing your story with me…
That is an interesting point about the preventative cardiologist. Are you treating with Mayo Clinic ?
I just switched to a new Cardiologist because I feel like my last one should’ve been on top of my situation and maybe Things wouldn’t have gotten this far…!!
It’s all rather complicated but right now I have to stick to the plan in the hopes that my iron goes back up in the next month and my LDL goes down.
I will certainly update you in a month or so. Thanks again for your time and advice.
Be well

@susane1121 I am not getting treated at Mayo. I got an appointment when I was first diagnosed. (They found an ascending aortic aneurysm at the same time they found my high CAC and I admittedly freaked out. 🙂 They did some testing and gave me a treatment plan to take to my cardiologist.
FWIW, I think your lp(a) is notably high and I think it would be worth looking into Janell's advice and at least doing a one time visit there, or another highly rated center, to get their take on your situation. Did anyone refer you to a lipidologist? I don't know much about them, but I'd think they work with people that have extremely elevated lp(a)??
