ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
Bob Harper, well known fitness guru, had a near-fatal heart attack in his early 50s in the winter/spring of 2017. He announced that it was due to a genetic problem. Then he later announced it was Lp(a).
Lp(a) is a genetic variation of the protein in LDL, which is formed by the body to keep fats and oils from forming large "fat emboli". Fat emboli can be seen in auto accidents or other serious trauma situations which result in bone marrow fat release into the blood.
There has been debate about Lp(a) for years. A September 2014 article in JACC (Jl of the American College of Cardiology) was titled, Lp(a): Is it ready for Prime Time? Bob Harper's announcement put it in prime time, ready or not.
Lp(a) has Kringle repeats hanging off the particle. This is believed by many to cause the increased atherogenesis, thrombogenesis, and inflammation associated with Lp(a).
There is excellent science showing that Niacin lowers Lp(a). So do other things, like estrogen, testosterone and anabolic steroids, PCSK9 medications, and apheresis.
So why don't most docs screen for it? In the US, the standards committees are not there yet. There's struggling with what's not known yet.
All of us agree, however, that known additional causes of heart attack and stroke should be even more aggressively managed in patients with elevated Lp(a).

ABOUT DR. BREWER
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor. After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine. While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine. From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics. His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics. He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack, and stroke prevention clinic.
At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline. We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event. Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in person if you're in the Lexington, KY area. We find a lot of undiagnosed prediabetes or insulin resistance. Treating unrecognized risk factors like prediabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.
