“Medicine” is such a ridiculous scam and nothing else now. |

but isn't there some logic to the idea that atherosclerosis cannot advance in the absence of cholesterol?
they are overprescribed. but meds clearly work for high-risk people. the mortality reduction is greater when your risk is higher it seems. |

Date: January 21st, 2026 11:01 PM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,...,:::,.....,:,...:.:.,:.::,. all superb. tris are 50.
the thing that got me is stratospheric LP(a), which no one started testing until like 10 minutes ago.
genetics pwned. |

Mine was 305 nmol/L but my CAC was 0. |

Date: January 22nd, 2026 12:18 AM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,...,:::,.....,:,...:.:.,:.::,. mid 40s. slightly higher than yours - but I was told risk is not linear. once past 'moderately elevated Lp(a)' it's all similar risk.
I remember your case from another Lp(a) thread.
the drawback with CAC is that it only images calcified plaque. people < 55 normally have little to no calcification yet, but many have tons of un-calcified 'soft plaque', which is more lethal because it can rupture and form clots.
my 'blockage' is non-calcified plaque. in 5-10 years, it will calcify and begin to appear on CAC scans as calcified. but in the meantime, the CT Angio allows it to be imaged in pre-calcified form.
even if you don't get a CT, I would recommend a Thoracic Echocardiogram (no radiation) at some point, because there is a strong established relationship between Lp(a) and aortic stenosis. |

and like 12000FU of nattokinase it will melt through it

Date: January 21st, 2026 11:25 PM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,...,:::,.....,:,...:.:.,:.::,. many people say Niacin is passe, no longer recommended, failed to show benefit in outcome studies. but some still recommend.
never heard of nattokinase, but looks interesting. TYty. |
