I found I have high lipoprotein(a) and elevated coronary artery calcium so my doctor sent me to a cardiac stress test. Fortunately I broke the hospital’s record for time and METs, and my doctor said the report was the best he had ever seen so he told me not to worry about the calcified plaque especially since I am in great health with no risk factors other than my high lp(a) which is equivalent to two risk factors.

Wonder if anyone at HealthRising.org or Open Medicine Foundation knows about this. There are a lot of really desperate and bedbound people who need help, and a few might still have access to funds to help themselves.
