hi, it is not possible to estimate the risk of a heart attack only with cholesterol and other lipoproteins. I believe to have been the reason for such a delay for a doctor to answer your question.

However, people with high cholesterol have a higher chance than people with optimal levels of cholesterol and can have up to 50% more chances of heart attack. It is necessary to evaluate other variables such as sex, age, smoking, alcohol consumption, family history of heart attack at younger ages, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, and whether the patient is Caucasian, black, Asian, Indian , Latin ...

Therefore more information about clinical condition to make a more precise estimate of the risk of you suffering a heart attack is needed in the next ten years. I suggest you look for a cardiologist to make this estimate more accurately.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help you. Wish you good health.
