[QUOTE="xqfq, post: 154031, member: 38167"] I think the way I'd think about it: what could the causal agent be for your event? Not being an expert but looking at what you've shown here, my best guess is your LDL particle count. In some people, maybe that particle count with that HDL never leads to any kind of event. But there are factors that can't be easily measured (in particular, HDL [I]function[/I] -- not count). So I would think that reducing your particle count will likely reduce your future risk. There are some very promising new, non-statin drugs -- PCSK9 inhibitors (a bit pricey, but depending on your budget may be very worth it) and bempedoic acid (coming soon) come to mind. [/QUOTE]
