My most recent labs came back with an off-the-charts high lipoprotein(a) level of 519 nmol/L, which combined with the high number of small and medium LDL particles, TC 277, LDL 180, HDL 78, LP PLA2 Activity 111 and mild hypertension it's very scary indeed.
Considering that lipo(a) levels over 75 nmol/L are considered an extremely high risk for all types of CVD, a 519 nmol/L is more than horrifying. My mother died of a heart attack at 48, her brother at 50, grandfather at 60 of his third heart attack, other grandfather likewise, a cousin had an angioplasty at 46, and the list goes on... I clearly didn't win the genetic lottery and I fully expressed the high lipo(a) genes. The question is what to do.
Has anyone had success with niacinamide combined with CoQ10 and vit C? If so, at what dose? I was reading that niacinamide is not effective at lowering lipo(a), but 1000-3000 mg of regular niacin (the amount apparently needed to lower it) are likely to damage the liver, so niacinamide would be preferable.
Thank you!
