Lipoprotein(a) of 41 mg/dL
Hi,
I recently gone through a full body checkup and my lipoprotein(a) came out to be 41 mg/dL.
I don't have family history of heart disease, my blood pressure is also usually normal and I do go out for jog/run quite often.
My Apo B to A1 ratio is around 0.4.
Should I be worried and is there anyway to lower this level?
