Dr. H. Jackson Downey sits down with MedEvidence! to give the low-down on keeping your lipoprotein(a) numbers down. Lipoprotein little a, also called Lp(a), is a really, really, really, really, really bad cholesterol that is genetically determined, meaning exercise and diet don't help lower the numbers. Instead, Dr. Downey explains, clinical trials are looking into investigational medications for this bad type of cholesterol. Dr. Downey describes the ins and outs of Lp(a) and how clinical research is our best bet for solutions to this dangerous cholesterol.
