I recently got my Lipoprotein a test results back, and it shows Lpa 47.2. I'm wondering if this is considered a normal range or if I should be thinking about medication. Can you help me understand what this means for my health?

A Lipoprotein (a) level of 47.2 mgdL is considered within the normal range. However, it is important to consider other risk factors for cardiovascular disease as well. To help maintain a healthy level of Lipoprotein (a) and reduce the risk of heart disease, you can consider taking medications such as Atorvastatin at a dosage of 10-80 mg daily or Rosuvastatin at a dosage of 5-40 mg daily. It is recommended to discuss with your healthcare provider for personalized advice based on your overall health profile.
