How have you been managing your high cardiac risk so far? (Just curious. I know of new drugs to lower Lp(a), but have no experience with them.)


Statins to control the "normal" cholesterol levels (which weren't bad to begin with), and I've found that my Lp(a) number went down a little after I started CoQ10, which is something that's been found in experimentation as well - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26836888/

I keep trying to get into one of the Cleveland Clinic trials for the drugs that rewrite your liver's instructions to prevent it from making Lp(a), but I haven't had much success with timing so far. If I do get into one of those trials, I want to get a tattoo with a "Genetically Modified Organism" logo :-D
