Dr. Baum, could you please cite ANY research/data that actually PROVES ANY CAUSE AND EFFECT between elevated Lp(a) and atherosclerosis. I don't seem to be able to find ANY literature on this topic, other than a bunch of very flawed associational stuff.
Thank you for this. I have had 4 different LP(a) readings over 2 years. All high and fluctuating between 135 and 199 nmol/L. Took a PCSK9 for a year and my LP(a) actually increased while on the drug. So much we still do not understand. Hope the new drug treatments come soon and can be effective. In the meantime, control every other risk factor best you can.
