- CalChris 1y agoThe test cost me $35.20 and I found out that I have sky high Lp(a), 218 nmol/L. I already take a statin and my cholesterol is well under control (LDL 83). But as has been pointed out, Lp(a) doesn't respond to statins. I'm getting a calcium score done (probably won't be covered but we'll see). I'm prescribed a baby aspirin for the Lp(a). The AHA no longer recommends baby aspirin to the general population but 218 takes me out of the general population. The thinking is that Lp(a) clots and baby aspirin counteracts that.

- LorenPechtel 1y agoYeah. I've got that evil gene. Presumably took out my uncle at 55. But I'm much more active and my heart still works properly.
