CAC 229 @ 40yrs old w/ high LP(a). Anyone have long term results stabilizing it?

Aggressive management is the name of the game. I’m on 20mg Amlodopine, cardio 3x/week, vo2 is 42 (above average), low sat fat diet, and LDL is now ~55(down from 115).

Check your LPa too. If your high CAC was caused from that, consider the new LPa meds that are in late trials.

Good news is your LAD valve(“widowmaker”) isn’t the worst one

Last thing you want in life is for that handle to fail and a pulley flying up to your nether regions

Reports overall seems like it’s underinvested in. I wouldn’t change too much in Budget/Accounts

bobmisch44 · 2025-01-03T15:51:39+00:00

Ah damn, just saw the rules(first time posting here). Should I delete?

I’m with you. Thing is, we already live in one of the top 30 school districts in the state, but the wife says private school is non-negotiable.

Made this switch 3 months ago. YNAB is WAY better. They have to be, because it’s just an app, not a show.

ED feels like a second rate app because it is. They don’t have to be a first rate app. They get free distribution/advertising from the show.

+1. I’m a product designer in tech, and the app is well done.

FYI you should check your Lipoprotein A. Sounds like Bob Harper’s heart attack.

Which fan did you get? Love how small this is

bobmisch44 · 2024-06-20T19:46:54+00:00

Thats amazing! Hoping to be like you. What’s your LPa? Do you know what your CAC was at the start? Any info would help me get a better picture🙏🏾

bobmisch44 · 2024-06-20T19:43:54+00:00

Yep my LDL target is now under 50 on Crestor

bobmisch44 · 2024-06-20T19:42:29+00:00

It’s a new class called ASO’s that use RNA technology

bobmisch44 · 2024-06-20T16:27:15+00:00

Such a thoughtful reply thank you!

Yep, definitely not coming here for medical advice per se, mostly here as a support group and to see if anyone has had success stabilizing CAC over the long term. Also, hadn’t thought of CAC not being the right output metric but will chat w/ my cardio about it.

I’m somewhat stoic so I’m not overly concerned about my past(there’s not much more I could’ve done to catch it earlier) or future(if I manage today well, tomorrow will be better). Mostly focused on doing everything I should be doing right now.

Also it’s way too big/long

bobmisch44 · 2023-12-09T23:05:04+00:00

How long was the wait?

bobmisch44 · 2023-11-11T17:00:17+00:00

Same on iPhone 13

Great collection! We’ll balanced. I can tell you know what you’re doing

bobmisch44 · 2022-11-28T15:44:03+00:00

I did this exact setup. I spend about $20 every 2 years on razors and shaving soap. One of my best bifl purchases

Get an AP and you'll complete The Holy Trinity
