These are the two my MD started testing with blood labs about 3 yrs and both were elevated. So I'm working now going on 3 yrs lowering these levels.
She's not concerned about cholesterol and neither am I. My numbers in the cholesterol lipids are pretty good.
I don't know if the conventional MD's test these two, but a friend who is now dealing with afib and going to a new heart MD is asking for these two tests be done.
Some yrs ago I bought the book The Heart Revolution and it's all about homocysteine being the culprit to heart disease NOT cholesterol.
