A recent study in Atherosclerosis notes that while we generally assume men have a more atherogenic lipid profile than women, that only holds true from ages 20 to 50. Before and after that, women typically have higher LDL-C and total cholesterol levels. bit.ly/3UlDYsT

Do you really want to understand the Lipid Hypothesis? The following magnificent, incredibly enjoyable 5-part totally inclusive series written by David Steinberg in the Journal Of Lipid Research (open access) has long been forgotten. It was so important on my lipiddology…

Sending you 💗

Yep, small well conducted study- 62 people 6 weeks. Authors found saturated fat reduced Lpa by 8-12%- an absolute reduction of .3-2.8mg, a change unlikely to have meaningful impact on Vascular disease. Yet saturated fat diet increased LDL-C 9%or 12mg. Not a healthy approach.

Many heartfelt thanks to all the great organizations who participated in our third annual Lp(a) Awareness Day! And bravo to all those who leaned in and shared the science and the personal experiences. #KnowLpa #SaveLives 💗

A6: “Make sure you go to a clinician who understands all of the complex ramifications of Lp(a) and is trained to deal with it.” - @DrLipid #KnowLpa

I'm biased but better words were never spoken about Lp(a) 😀🧐 Take a listen

#KnowLpa there are ways to reduce risk today!

Family Heart Foundation Please, please…if you have a personal or family history of coronary artery disease or aortic valve disease or stroke (esp at early ages) have your Lp(a) tested. A high percentage of people w coronary “stents” or bypass surgery (“CABG”) have high Lp(a)

Later this week, don’t miss our webinar with Stanford Medicine’s Abha and Family Heart Foundation Chief Medical Officer on who is most at risk for having high Lp(a)! Register now: familyheart-org.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
