May I ask what you are taking to lower Lp(a)? This is something I need to start looking into.
I have a complex protocol which has been discussed on this forum. However, I don’t know which part of it drives down Lp(a).

Am I reading this correctly? Does this mean that somebody with high LP(a) but normal or low blood pressure isn’t at any greater risk of cardiac disease than the general population?
Yes, you are reading it correctly BUT it’s only one study and there are a LOT of other studies showing Lp(a) is an independent risk factor.

Gotcha, thank you. I was hoping to get lucky on this one. I just got diagnosed with high LP(a), but my blood pressure is very good, my APO-B is also low, and there’s no history of ASCVD in my family. I’m still going to play it safe: just started a statin three days ago and am waiting for a calcium test. Lifestyle changes also happening. I’m also hoping to sign up for Eli Lilly’s Lepodisiran phase 3 study. I’m trying to tackle this from all fronts!

I’m glad you mentioned this! I just now did a search and applied for this study as well.

Could it be that high Lp(a) stiffens blood vessels due to atherosclerosis and this causes high blood pressure? Those whose blood vessels do not stiffen due to Lp(a) are naturally in a better position. I have high Lp(a).

Guys, this was settled since 1960’s by Linus Paulding. If you suspect or know that you have arteriosclerosis just do Paulding protocol and all plaque gone in 3-6 months. Heard the dude once say that there would be no need for 400,000 heart bypass surgeries that are done annually. Think of that 400,000 at a cost of at least $270,000 and what is that like $1Trillion??
If you have heart disease just gobble up vitamin C and Lysine and you’ll be just fine. @ng0rge and @KarlT how do you like this post?
Dude actually arterial stiffening is created by dem micro plastics so if you drink only filtered water your body will heal. The shamans knew that all along.

Linus was a smart guy but boy did he ever go astray.

Well, neither you nor I have two Noble price wins under our belt, so there you have it. As matter of fact I rarely consider anything to be more insulting than be awarded a Noble price, but that is another subject altogether NOT well suited for these boards. So, there you have it again! Jokes aside the dude did live to about 95 I think, so at least his ginormous VIT C and Lysine did not do any harm, if not any good!

I only take health advice from the shamans in the crack house. They are skinny, energetic, and confident, so they must be doing something right. What they say sounds good, I think it’s science.

A 110-year-old man, thought to be the oldest living person in the US, says drinking a can of beer everyday is the key to living a long life.

Yeah, people are saying it’s not science, and I don’t care, what’s best is right in front of you, that’s proof enough, that’s the crack shaman, because he’s not obese, he is in relatively good shape, with great strength. Everything he says must be true.

I wouldn’t make fun of his advice yet. As previously stated, I can’t consume any alcohol (it gives me some weird reaction) except beer that not only it does not have same negative effect as Wine and other hard drinks have, but I feel it might be a net positive Healthwise. So, thanks for sharing because I was wondering that my almost once daily can of beer was bad for longevity. Dand just read he drinks Miller, I only like Coors light. Might have to switch!
That weird reaction you are getting is the key to longevity. Why stop?

not with you on this one. The weird reaction is pretty weird, and if you happen to cross me (is not a good idea in any instance) but if I happen to have had only ONE drink of hard liquor than YOU definitely do NOT want to cross me. That can’t be good for longevity, neither for me nor you , With beer on the other hand you and I would be just fine!
btw, your sarcasm is well taken because believe it or not many things that seem uncomfortable tend to be good for longevity. Hard liquor does not seem to be one!

Well, I’d much rather listen to my own body than listen to a shaman or shashit or even a doctor.

Well you can’t feel as atheroschlerotic plaques are developing, or suboptimal blood perssure, for example (until it’s too late).
