A member asked:

Dad heart attack at 50, i am 26 had a ct angio at 23 with a score of 0, l.p.(a) 5, hdl 34, ldl 116, total cholesterol 165, triglycerides 75 ? good?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

+ family history: Hi. You have a family history of premature coronary disease, a substantial risk factor. You CT angio is great, as are your Lp(a) and triglycerides. Your HDL is low, and without high triglycerides, not a good target for treatment. Your LDL is above goal, and EASILY treatable (the only treatable target). Do you know what your dad's lipids are/were? I trust you don't smoke.
