No, Lp(a) is a risk factor, not a disease, therefore, it has no sxs until the disease starts (CAD, stroke, etc). That is why it is important to identify and treat early.
If a person with high Lp(a) of 219mnol/(88mg/dL) starts taking a PCSK9 inhibitor - will that person "feel" a difference?
Given that person in already on a statin with cholesterol panel in range except high non-HDL

Dr Constantinides was an MD/PhD pathologist. Being ahead of your time is good in retrospect, but not at that moment when you can't convince more people of the importance of your findings. Its that for many things in life, timing is a big part of succcess and progress....
20/20 Dr Constantinides was a:

1- Pathologist
2- Internist
3- Cardiologist
4- Cancer researcher
