The Hidden Killer: Lp(a)
In this MedEvidence rebroadcast, Albert Lopez, DO, FACP, FASPC, explains lipoprotein(a), a genetically determined heart disease risk factor which still strikes people with “good” cholesterol. He also explains that plaque behaves like an inflammatory volcano that can rupture without warning. Dr. Lopez goes into how lipoprotein(a) increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and aortic valve disease. Dr. Lopez then hammers home how important testing for Lp(a) is, especially for those at an increased risk.
