It looks like your doctor is aggressively treating you for the LDL-C, in light of the minor blockage discovered during your stress test. If that is not a false positive, then you definitely want to be aggressive with steps that result in your ratios improving. One of the benchmarks they use is that for those of us with risk for CHD, or with it, that our LDL-C be <100 mg/dL.
The rest of your lipid panel looks good, but in the end effect, its not about just looking good. You want to make sure you are doing everything you can to reverse, arrest, or at least slow the progression of what could be the slight blockage identified by the stress test.
Did you have both the thallium imaging and the technicium imaging done after exercising (dual isotope)? I am guessing you did and the mild ischemia showed up after exercise on the treadmill, but you have no irregularities in the ecg while performing the exercise?
