Lipoprotein (a) Elevation: What Does it do to CV Risk and What do You Need to Know About Treatment
Lipoprotein (a) Elevation: What Does it do to CV Risk and What do You Need to Know About Treatment
Guest: Vlad Vasile, M.D., Ph.D.
Host: Stephen L. Kopecky, M.D.
Lipoprotein (a) is a blood biomarker that poses independent risk of heart attacks and stroke when elevated. All patients should be screened for this biomarker. Currently, there are no efficient treatments for lipoprotein (a) elevations, but likely the scenery will change as we will have treatments available in the near future. For now, we recommend a healthy lifestyle, medications that lower cholesterol, aspirin and screening of all first-degree relatives of patients with elevated lipoprotein (a), including children.
