Dr. Irving Loh: Understanding Cholesterol and Lp(a)

Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is a lesser-known type of cholesterol that is similar to LDL ("bad") cholesterol. High levels of Lp(a) can increase one's risk of heart attack and stroke, but currently there is no approved medication for lowering Lp(a). Recent advancements in clinical research have the potential to change that.
