@logww45@Drlipid Let's say you have high Lp(a) levels...remember you have two LPA genes contributing, one from your mother and one from your father. But, one normally doesn't know if that is because you have two genes giving you high Lp(a), or one gene that contributes a lot and the other a bit.
One key fact that everyone should know about Lp(a):
Comprehensive cardiometabolic screening and management using just lipids and basic biometrics is incomplete without also considering a one-time Lp(a) value for the individual.
Lp(a) + lipoproteins + IR + glycemic status + noninvasive imaging results + inflammation + biometrics + clinical history

Dr Dean Karalis and @dan_soffer kicking off the @cvi_phila program on Lp(a) with @MarlysLPA!
Excited to represent @FamilyHeartFdn at this important program!
Leading cause of death in Philly? Heart disease!
The more we learn about Lp(a) the more we have to worry about the 1 out of 5 people who have elevations. Will significantly lowering Lp(a) solve the aortic valve deterioration? For those of you with elevated Lp(a) make sure your clinicians are closely watching the heart valves. Periodic echos for all? https://t.co/JMicgPHu5O @nationallipid@society_eas@FamilyHeartFdn@escardio #KnowLpa
Our latest review article on Lp(a), which actually made the cover of Biochemical Journal! As before this journal, we go into some depth on the more basic molecular details of Lp(a). Enjoy!
