What’s your Triglyceride/HDL ratio? It should be <5. I have had the VAP test ( a newer type cholesterol check that tests a bit more....and I have “Pattern B, small dense LDL - which is NOT good....but, I have great HDL and total cholesterol....I’d get a 2nd opinion before I took statins...JMHO.
Triglyceride/HDL = .95
Less than one....
Thanks for that info. I will certainly look into it further.
In googling high HDL, high LDL, and low triglycerides, I saw mention of the LDLa and LDLb.
The articles I found indicated that LDLa is the harmless kind associated with high HDL and low triglycerides.
If that’s the case, I see no need to go on statins.
