I have a terrible family history of heart disease as posted before lost a dad and 2 brothers while in thier 30's

LP(a) it was 141 way way high
my others were ok
triglycerides 53
cholesterol total 147
hdl 60
ldl 76
chol/hdlc ratio 2.5
the only thing out of range was my creantine kinase it was 175
it also says cardio crp <0.2 what does that mean
lipoprotein a 141
i am having gallbladder surgery may 10th should i tell the anestologist i have high lipoprotein a i forgot to tell my surgeon
i take the following meds once a day is there anything else i can take to lower the lipoprotein a
aspirin 81 mg
atenolol 50
k-dur 20
