For a male, it would be free testosterone above all else because I see so many guys that get a total testosterone level.
It doesn't matter.
It's the free testosterone.
I think looking at biomarkers for genetic risk of heart attack, the one that
has been missing for years is lipoprotein little a, LP little a, apolipo B. You have to be considerate of cholesterol's role in cardiovascular disease.
Notice I say role, okay?
So those tests are the ones that I think get left off.
I see guys, LP little a is a largely genetically conferred risk for heart disease, okay?
Higher levels can translate to three to five times higher risk of a heart attack.
This is the guy that's your golfing buddy that you play tennis with every weekend and drops dead in the grocery store.
Okay.
So every doctor checks a lipid panel.
That's standard.
Lipoprotein little a.
My lipoprotein little a, okay, is 280 off the charts.
My apolipob, the strongest predictor that we have of what we sort of clot forming capacity, my apolipob is 55.
Wow.
So I have a genetic abnormality, if you will, that increases my lifetime risk of a heart attack markedly.
So what does that mean?
Well, the cool thing is in the next probably year to two, big pharma is actually coming out with a monoclonal to actually treat.
