Hi, thank you, that was a very helpful video. I don’t get to meet with the lipid specialist for another month. My primary has started me on a statin and baby aspirin in the meantime.

I'm glad to hear that you will be starting a statin and aspirin. Those are great protective measures.
Will you post again with updates?

Hi, I have 329.1 high lipoproteinA. I was on 10mg statin and had a RCA stemi heart attack 3 months ago. I was put on 80 mg statin after heart attack and now going to start just 40mg. I was wondering how much statins they put you on? My Cholesterol was not high. I had been a vegan for 5 yrs before this happened. I am a 65 year old female. We have hypercholesterolemia in my family so I watched my cholesterol. I did not know about my high LipoproteinA until 1 month and 9 days before I had a heart attack. It was checked because I had an abnormal EKG. They should have sent me to a Cardiac doctor but they didn't. So, now that I know I was curious as to how much statins they give because of high LipoproteinA. I also had a low HDL of 45 but now it is 52. It had been being 56 before. I also take an aspirin now along with Metaporlol succinate25 and 2xday Brilinta 90mg. and the 40 Atorvastatin.
