Blood Pressure and Plaque In The Arteries

[egruberman]

So while Cholesterol and Triglycerides are high, indicating high risk, one other side LipoA and apoB being so low that risk is rather small?

How can i understand that?

@AlexDavis43 is correct in terms of differences between men and women.

For a post-menopausal woman, high trigs would be a concern. I can’t quantify the risk very well as that’s an area in which I’m not well versed.

For men. High total cholesterol and trigs with low ApoB and Lp(a) suggests a lower risk than one might guess, especially in the absence of any metabolic disorder or other inflammatory risk factors.

This is sometimes known as benign hyperlipidemia. LDL in and of itself is not atherogenic, but carries ApoB particles which are. If LDL-C is high and ApoB is low that’s suggests fewer, larger LDL particles and lower risk as a result.

Thank you both for the insight! Really appreciate that!

Hi there,

I am thinking of adding some BEMPEDOIC ACID to my low dose 5mg rosuvastatin and ezetimibe regiment. Due to the expensive prices in US, I am thinking of ordering thi from India. Has anyone tried any of the three brands below? Do they differ in quality or should I just order the cheapest one?

BEMPIFY 180MG 1X10 BEMPEDOIC ACID
BEMPETOL 180MG 1X10 BEMPEDOIC ACID
BEMDAC 180MG 1X10 BEMPEDOIC ACID

Thanks

I'd choose the mid priced Bemdac. It's by Zydus/Cadila, a huge multinational pharma company that sells many generics in US pharmacies and is FDA inspected..

You may want to contact PCT24 and ask him to get Bemdac EZ, which is a 180mg Bempedoic acid / 10mg Ezetimebe combo tab, which is convenient and may save you some money, assuming that dose works for you.

Many thanks! That is the dose of Ezetimibe I am using which I think is pretty much the standard.

He can pretty much get anything sold in India on request, If not the Bemdac EZ, he may be able to offer another Bemp Acid / Ezetimibe combo. "EZ" in the name seems to indicate it. for all brands. I'm going to guess the combo is much less expensive than buying them separately, and one less pill is always nice.

Can recommend the combo of Bempoic Acid + Ezemtib. Works really well!

Vitamin K2 for plaque. 600 mg daily. 200 mg three times a day. For at least 5-6 months.This is what a specialist said.

Do you mean mg or mcg? The strongest I could find was 9 milligrams per serving, It generally always comes in mcg, most supplements are 100 to 300 micrograms .. so you would have to take approximately 70 servings a day.. that would be like 630 milligrams,lol. If you bought 250 g for $125.00 that would last you about 396 days.. that is alot of K2! Are you sure it wouldn't make you sick or anything? 600 mg that is insane..
