Insightful exchange with @fhpatienteurope.
Around 90 million Europeans live with inherited lipid disorders – yet 98% of Lp(a) cases & 90% of Familial Hypercholesterolemia remain undiagnosed.

4/4 I also appreciate the support of the International Lp(a) Task Force I am priviledged to chair aiming that Lp(a) testing becomes the norm across the globe and that Lp(a) is managed equitably to contribute towards the prevention of cardiovascular disease. @lpaITF @measurelpa

What do current guidelines / statements say about Lp(a) & why did I also take the opportunity to test it? 😎#EASCongress2024 #MyEAS2024 #EASSoMe

As always, #AAS-Meeting was fabulous. Reuniting with other groups working on #atherosclerosis from all over Austria.
P.S. The rain didn't stop us from hiking and socialising 😎

We show in this first large prospective study that high apoA-IV levels are associated with reduced frequencies of history of cancer and incident fatal/non-fatal cancer events in >5000 patients with chronic kidney disease #apoA4 #apoA-IV #cancer #CKD

Today we support Lp(a) Awareness Day. Elevated Lp(a) can affect anyone, from any background, age or gender. It's an invisible condition. It's People Like Us. Thank you for your support throughout this awareness campaign.❤️#LpaAwarenessDay #PeopleLikeUs #KnowLpa #FHEurope

[FH Europe Foundation @fhpatienteurope]

Know your numbers! Lp(a) is considered high >50 mg/dL or 125 nmol/L. Do not mix up the units! High Lp(a) is an independent risk factor for CVD. The higher the concentration, the higher the risk. Watch: https://t.co/IXR7196ytc
