What is LDL-P, HDL-P: You should optimize all modifiable risk factors. The best indicator of success in treating lipid related risk is LDL and HDL particle number (ldl-p and hdl-p). Unfortunately, it is common to have great lipid numbers and high ldl-p or low hd-p. Optimize diet / exercise, fix factors affecting ldl-p (sugar, thyroid, kidney problems) and use medication as needed to get to ldl-p goal (< 800).

No: There are no medications that can treat a 100% blockage. Collaterals are good and low cholesterol is good only surgery can treat a 100% blockage, but depending on the flow through the collateral circulation, that may not be necessary. Talk to your cardiologist about treatment options.
