Lp(a) results are in ….
I’ve recently had bloods taken to test for FH and Lp(a) levels. I had a heart attack in 2022 at aged 51 and was started on a whole ton of medications afterwards including Atorvastatin 80mg and then a bit later adding in 10mg Ezetimibe. My LDL cholesterol has not been able to reach the target of 1.4

Statin use is usually associated with a reduction of cholesterol and heart attacks, but a new study also shows an important additional benefit -- a significant reduction in strokes and TIA's in the Afib population. Something to discuss with your doctor if you're not already on statins, especially

Half dose of Eliquis
I am 69 yrs old with low heart disease risk and have had diagnosed afib for three years.

My doc ran numerous tests on my heart that

blood tests and bad cholesterol results.
I recently had my bloods done by the lovely staff at my surgery but received a call a week later saying my total cholesterol was 4.4 so I thought that’s not bad ? But the lady said it’s not that good because my bad fats were 3.2 and they like it at 3 or under or I’m at risk of stroke or heart attack

I’ve been recently diagnosed with Afib and coronary heart disease and I’m taking Bisoprolol,felodopine and Edoxaban. Since taking them I’ve gained nearly 2 stone. Is this normal?
