Theres a 3rd cholesterol that is the hereditary part that got me. Its lp small a is what they call it. My grandfather had a heart attack at 52 and we assume he had it. My mom has it and now i have it. It is not part of a routine cholesterol check. The first time I had one done the hospital, which is a big heart hospital, had trouble figuring out where to send it. If there's been heart attacks at somewhat early ages in your family it's good to have someone look into that. There's not much they can do except try and keep your LDL cholesterol low. Mine is between 15 and 20 now but was never over 30 when I had the heart attack. This small a lipoprotein seems to be sticky and attaches itself to your LDL and then you have problems.
