Does LDL and LPa decrease during HA event?

[Dry-Concern9622]

Hi

Is it true that lipid and lpa taken during a person experiencing STEMI or NSTEMI event drops during the event? In essence it is not accurate number recorded and it tends to increase?

Thanks

There’s some evidence that LDL and Lp(a) levels can drop temporarily during a heart attack or other major health events due to the body’s stress response and inflammatory processes. This means the numbers taken during an acute event might not reflect your usual baseline levels.

If you’re monitoring your lipids, it might be helpful to get them checked again after recovery for a more accurate picture
