Age, risk factors, are you obese etc. I am high risk as my dad died at 39 of mi. My cholesterol was always 185-225 basically no matter what I weighed 32-35 inch waist whole time, how much I worked out out etc. I took statins for years probably a decade and they helped a little maybe 10-20 percent max until I had complications. Ratio was worst. Triglycerides often hit 300
There is a new injection drug called Repatha came out about 3-5 years ago. Took right before covid hit. Definitely I’m in worst shape of my life but weight is down some.
My cholesterol is like 7-9, triglycerides are way under normal as well

Tut with the correct answer. If you have had any stents or bypasses you should definitely look into repatha. But you have to take some sort of statin with it or it will NOT work. I had cholesterol of about 205 but with a LDL around 110. After 5 bypasses and 6 stents, started on repatha and now chol is 140s and ldl is in 40s and having had any issues in 3-4 years.
