Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I know my Lp(a), said “L-P-little-a,” is mostly set by my genes.
- I know high Lp(a) raises risk; it does not mean I already have heart disease.
- I know it can harm arteries and narrow the heart's aortic valve over time.
- I ask my parents, siblings, and children about getting an Lp(a) blood test.
