LDL

Huge increase in LDL
At that time my
LDL
was 1.4, HDL 1.4, Tg 1.1, ratio 1.8 and total cholesterol 3.3. Bloods were done exactly 4 weeks after stopping the statins and my
LDL
has shot up to 3.7! I had a shock. HDL is now 1.3, Tg1.3, ratio 2.3 and total cholesterol is 5.6.

Low statin dose increased lipoprotein a significantly
Here's the thing, I lived for 30 years or more with my elevated total and
LDL
cholesterol levels and yet my CAC score remained zero. So, I feel like taking a statin that messes quite a bit with the lp(a) level may actually be more risky for me than living with an
LDL
in the 130s.

LDL

Cholesterol targets are different if on medication?
“If you are getting secondary prevention treatment for your heart condition, you may have different
LDL
-cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol levels to aim for. The guidelines say you should aim for :
LDL
cholesterol level of 2.0mmol or less. Non-HDL cholesterol level of 2.6mmol or less. “

Why so many have cardiac disease
After 8 weeks on 20 mg. of Crestor my
LDL
was comfortably below 55, more in keeping with the
LDL
of newborns. My take away is that main stream medicine is still in the dark ages in their practice of under treating
LDL
.

Cholesterol
My
LDL
is high, so is my HDL and my Triglycerides are normal. I don't have any heart disease. Lipoprotein A and B a little elevated. It is hereditary but I have had tests and it is not familial. All genetic testing came back negative. Any good articles, literature etc. that is factual.

LDL analysis testing
My
LDL
is now 1.4 which is good. But I have had side effects to Rosuvastatin 10mg and my GP has told me to stop them for a month and see what happens to the levels in 1 month. My cardiac rehab team said that I may not even need Statins as it depends what fats are in the
LDL
.

LDL test
Anyone struggled to get a blood test with an
LDL
result? My GP only seems to be able to get one which gives non HDL which is apparently not the same. Cardiologist asking for
LDL
result and can't understand why I can't get it.

any tests for Familial hypocholesterolemia?
Cholesterol blood tests from 5 years ago to date all show HDL at 1 or lower with
LDL
over 5.5-6.0. he has slightly high blood pressure, thyroid is slightly hypo but not enough for sub clinical. Possible testosterone deficiency but needs testing, he is following that up.
