Have you heard of Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a)?
In this clip, Dr. Michael Koren explains that Lp(a) is an inherited and often overlooked risk factor that can significantly impact cardiovascular health. Since Lp(a) levels are largely determined by genetics, they typically cannot be improved through diet or exercise alone.
Knowing your levels can uncover risks that standard cholesterol tests may miss. If you have a personal or family history of heart disease, talk to your doctor to see if testing is right for you. You can also explore our enrolling research studies, which may provide advanced testing and study-related care at no cost.
