11. Lp(a) vs. Repatha: Elton's Story

Almost six years after my stroke, I discovered a test that might help explain my stroke: The Cardio IQ(R) Advanced Lipid Panel, which tests for Lipoprotein(a) often called Lp(a) - This is not a standard test in the US. My doctor then put me on a PCSK9 inhibitor, Repatha (evolocumab). I've uploaded some of my medical record and blood work to Google's notebook LM and this is its analysis. It is now my belief that everyone should be tested at least once in their lifetime for Lp(a).EltonDisclaimer: This podcast episode was generated using AI engines.
