@Lpa_Doc This is true. However, numerous NIH clinical trials have deonstrated a significan reduction in events with Niacin combination Rx (Superko HR, Zhao XQ, Hoddis HN, Guyton JR. Niacin and Heart Disease Prevention:Engraving its Tombstone is a Mistake, J Clin Lipid 2017;joi:org/10.1016

I think niacin has gotten a worse name than it deserves. Can someone cite level 1 data where the kinds pf patients with elevated Lp(a), that are being discussed on twitter, were randomized to niacin vs placebo and there was no benefit or harm? The simple answer is NO.

Thanks so much. It warms my heart to hear I positively impacted people’s lives and generated a passionate interest in lipids & heart disease

@Lpa_Doc Sam- I saw this paper by Lamina and while interesting, the use of mendelian randomization to achieve this estimate may not be the best approach. @highhdl
