    Dr. Kulkarni, you just said that there are NOT a lot of good ways to monitor heart disease in asymtomatic individuals. Wouldn't you agree that cardiovascular inflammatory biomarkers (hs-CRP, MPO, Lp-PLA2, Alb/Creat) and AI assisted CCTA's are very helpful in MONITORING a patient's plaque burden, plaque composition (hard vs soft plaque) and degree of coronary endothelial dysfunction/inflammation?

    Hello if lipoprotien a is a genetic and levels do not change throughput your lifetime then why it is increasing significantly.

      Great question, RohitKumar. Cardiologists and lipidologists keep saying that Lp(a) is very static and changes very little during one's life. However, I am finding more and more evidence that MANY, MANY things can cause extreme variations in a person's Lp(a) levels-trauma, surgery, inflammation, dietary changes, fasting. You may want to take a look at the UA-cam videos on Lp(a) by researchers Dr. Nadir Ali and Ms. Siobhan Huggins.

      Just like Dr. Nadir Ali says- Lp(a) does NOT CAUSE heart disease/coronary plaque. Lp(a) only shows up in coronary plaque after there has been an injury to the coronary endothelium. Lp(a) is a "firefighter," not an aronist. Therefore, I would not worry about what my Lp(a) level is. Who cares? Lp(a) particles do NOT CAUSE atherosclerosis. @@RohitKumar-ei2dw
