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.

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.

Great webinar for high LPA
One that works at Heart Institue her in Canada , they both stress importance of no red meat, lean meats, whole foods and more plant based if possible to lower
LDL

LDL
as well. https://www.youtube.com/live/kxu1YrR45OI?si=XYr50CgGXb6VYgGm

High, rising Lp(a) and CAC but low LDL
My
LDL
has never been a problem, but I have calcified arteries. Then, just six months ago I discovered I had significantly elevated LP(a). The nasty twin brother of
LDL
that likes to stick in your arteries.

Haven’t posted here in a while. I don’t know how to ask my GP about starting a statin as a preventive or even if it’s right.
However I want to be preventative for myself because you know we all want to live a long life and want to start a form of statin even just ezetimibe which has very little side effects to just push my
LDL
/ApoB down while I then start the Pauling method.

Help with understanding these results
I have experienced more and more “ectopic” heartbeats (I have long standing paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, diagnosed 20+ years ago, as an accidental finding, and which has never bothered me until the last year or so) My total cholesterol is 6 mol/l, although I have healthy
LDL
/HDL levels.

26 yo, can you help me?
My cholesterol HDL is 24 mg/dL ,
LDL
is 170 mg/dL, and my total cholesterol/HDL ratio is 8.8:1. Is it really bad? Can it be a coronary artery disease? Anyway, tomorrow I get the results from my Holter that I did last Wednesday. So you guys have any similar experience?

could olaparib raise LDL cholesterol?
My good cholesterol is in good range while the
LDL
bad cholesterol is in the upper end of the "high" range at 175.22. There is only a very high range after this. i last took my lipid profile a year and 3 months back when my
LDL
was 112; just slightly higher than the reference good range.
