If you have a heart disorder or chronic heart disease, it may be beneficial to ask your doctor to test your blood for a protein called PCSK9.
The researchers found this protein present in the blood of coronary heart disease patients having an acute heart attack. But, in the study, patients with a history of heart attack and patients with coronary heart disease didn’t have elevated levels of this protein. It’s possible then that the protein is highest just before a heart attack or during and straight after a heart attack.
This same protein is known to increase levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood. It hampers the liver’s ability to remove and destroy LDL cholesterol that causes heart attacks.
Of course pharmaceutical companies are hard at work developing a drug to block this protein. But in the meantime, why not ask your doctor to test for PCSK9 levels in your blood. It may save your life!
