Measure the levels of lipoprotein (a) in the blood.
Measure the levels of lipoprotein (a) in the blood.
Additional Information
Elevated levels in the blood have been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including coronary artery disease and stroke. It is believed that high Lp(a) levels can contribute to the development of atherosclerosis, which is the buildup of plaque in the arteries. The lipoprotein(a) blood test is typically performed to assess an individual's risk of developing heart disease and to guide treatment decisions. However, it's important to note that while elevated Lp(a) levels are a risk factor, they are just one of many factors that can contribute to cardiovascular disease risk. Other risk factors, such as high LDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, and family history, also play important roles.
