Vap results repost for Susan

I have been low carbing for 4 years, and despite having high cholesterol,
I have been statin free for those same 4 years. I am one of those
"lucky" ones that have inherited a tendency for high cholesterol
regardless of diet. Low fat made no significant difference.

So after quitting statins and going low carb, my total cholesterol
Has sky rocketing to the high 200s and peaking at 327 a couple of years
ago. Last test was 282, with LDL of 209, and HDL of 47. This causes my GP
and family no small concern since I am not treating it. I decided to take
a more thorough test on my own to evaluate my cholesterol more
thoroughly, since my mother has had two bypasses (first in her mid 50's)
and most of my dad's family has had heart trouble, Not him so far, but he
is on statins. I am 48.

I got the VAP test results (I did the test on my own) and I am not quite
sure how to interpret it. Of course almost every measurement is flagged
HIGH by their measurement. I don't see anything on the report that says
LDL particle size. Some of the numbers a NON HDL = 235, apoB100-Calc =
156. LDL-R = 164. Lp(a) = 24. IDL = 36. LDL Density pattern = A/B,
leaning towards the pattern A side. There are more, but I am not sure
which are significant.

While I was at it, I had a calcium CT scoring with the result showing 3.6
total Agatston which puts me in the low risk for CAD category. Volume was
score was 4.71mm and I have no clue what that means.

I exercise regularly, still do mostly low carb, have low trig and blood
sugar, have never smoked and have a BMI of 23.

Taken in total, what does all this mean, especially the VAP? I am still
trying to fend off statins until I have no choice, but I don't want to be
stupid either. Outside the issue of Dr and family pressure, I have been
looking into renew or changing my life insurance. Some of those I looked
at want to rate you on your cholesterol and whether your number is a
treated or untreated number. Obviously premiums are higher if cholesterol
is higher. Of course, health insurance is higher if you take statins.
It's a no win situation.
