Lp(a) is a genetic marker associated with increased cardiovascular events. A positive family history is also associated with increase risk. But how much risk and over what time period. Families share the same cultures, living environment and often food choices but not always. Genes don't act alone. They need the right stimulus or environment to become activated. There is no one that knows your story better than you. Yet, one cannot predict their own future with any degree of certainty. The story always unfolds a little different. To think a physician can predict ones future is also a bit of a long shot. Heart disease is the number one killer in America with cancer being number two. The odds are pretty high that one of those illnesses may cross your door. The question is which and when. I believe we are in control of our destiny more than our genes or family history. How heart disease or other illnesses affect our lives is guided by lifestyle choices and beliefs. Being healthy is a choice. Being healthy is a choice. You just need to BELIEVE. To understand more take a listen. Thank you as always.
