At 3:00 in this video the presenter says there is little value in measuring something, e.g. Lp(a), that we can't treat. But perhaps doctors don't know that a change in diet can sometimes lower Lp(a). For example, a low carb - high fat diet can lower one's Lp(a). The first time I ever had Lp(a) tested I was eating a fair amount of carbs and my Lp(a) was 32 mg/dL (a bit above the top end of the reference range of 30 mg/dL). Eventually, my diet evolved toward low carb - high fat and my Lp(a) has come in as low as 10 mg/dL. Some doctors will say Lp(a) is genetic so you just need to test it once. I disagree. Test it every now and again, especially if you are making significant diet and lifestyle changes.

@@trueicecoldfire I suspect your value of 148.8 nmol/L for Lp(a) is high. You should be able to find a reference range along with your results. But I will say most of the time I see Lp(a) measured in units of nmol/L, the acceptable reference range goes no higher than 75 nmol/L. Some labs use a cut-off of just 50 nmol/L. Go ahead and check your info but I think you'll discover it's high.

@MikeD_ 8 ай бұрын

Just one man's opinion, and one who is not in the medical profession, but is a member of the human race. Everyone should have their Lp(a) tested. While it can't be treated as of yet, it will show those who have increased risk for heart attacks and strokes, and thus this would be further evidence they can use to motive and address parts of their diets they can improve.

Fantastic and concise, but a little more explanation on those medical terms would assist us without medical training. I am reading "The Clot Thickens" by doctor Malcolm Kendrick and he dives deep into this subject.

@peterholt4806 10 ай бұрын

This is the most brilliant book as it explains Atherosclerosis and understandable steps as to how you get to poor cardiovascular health without the LDL-C nonsense. Calling anything "bad" (as in bad cholesterol) makes no sense when it is so vital for many bodily functions. The term Atherogenic is nonsense. If there was such a thing then you'd get plaques in veins, but you don't.

@Malcolm-Achtman Жыл бұрын

Just be sure the labs were using the same methodology and the same units of measurement. Go back and take a closer look. Perhaps your measurement of 29 was a value of 29 mg/dL, while the value of 100 was actually 100 nmol/L. You need to be sure you are comparing apples to apples, so to speak.

Wow I'm very sorry to hear you're Lp-a is so high, I just got my first test of it, my GP has never issued this test to anyone. But mine came back as 20. Needless to say, it could be far worse! I have been on the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol for the past 3 years reversing my CAC Score from 660 to 458 with high dose vitamin C and Lysine and Proline which are suppose to neutralize Lp-a. I cannot imagine how high it would be without these amino acids, also high dose vitamin C helps tremendously. Good luck 👍

@annast9172 You're very much welcome, Ann. I wish you well on your journey. Think about a CAC at age 45 sooner if you're concerned about plaque build-up. The trick is to have a CAC with contrast as the contrast highlights plaque present. No plaque build-up shown means no statin for me. I personally will never be on it. There is just no reason to be on a statin if no plaque is present. Not only does the protocol help your heart, but it does so much more!
