As a primary care provider, we knew to test for this in 2007. In 2009, most insurance companies stopped covering the test for primary prevention. They only pay for it after a person has had a heart attack or stroke.

Classic insurance move. Unfortunately the article paints this as a new finding. Having worked cardiac rehab for 18 years we know it's not new but insurance coverage strikes again in it's infinite wisdom of covering stroke care rather than preventative screen. Ugh.

I've known Healthy People who went out for a jog and Dropped dead. Jesus came to pay for our sins so we would be righteous before God through faith in him and could have eternal life, U can become born again of Holy Spirit(real experience) n know Jesus n the truth.

Turn completely from sin and call upon Jesus in Faith. For wages of sin is Death but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus. the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”Rom10

I am thankful to have a cardiologists that tests me for the lipoprotein a but we desperately need to push through new drugs in development, raise awareness to insurance companies and make existing drugs more available.

Wondering if diabetics need to have this test since they are at higher cardiac risk for disease?
-
I imagine it couldn’t hurt.
