Book your Lipoprotein(a) test at a local lab
Concerned about your
heart attack risk?
Lp(a), a lesser known cholesterol particle, could be increasing your risk of heart attack 3x. An Lp(a) test can provide you valuable insight into your heart attack risk.
Lipoprotein(a) test details
Lp(a) is a simple blood test that helps measure your risk for heart disease. Schedule your in-lab test now to check your levels. Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is a type of cholesterol particle found in your blood. High levels of Lp(a) can increase your risk of heart attack and stroke. Most people don’t know their Lp(a) level because it is not included in standard cholesterol tests (lipid panel). But for many people, Lp(a) is a key risk factor for heart attack or stroke-especially if you have a family history of heart disease.
This test measures your Lp(a) level so you can better understand your personal risk. With this information, you can work with your healthcare provider and can take steps to protect your heart health.
