Lp(a) is a genetically inherited cholesterol particle that significantly increases the risk of heart attack, cardiovascular disease, and stroke, even when traditional markers like LDL and apo B are normal; since Lp(a) cannot be modified through diet or exercise, individuals with elevated levels should be more aggressive about managing other cardiovascular risk factors.

Lp(a): Get This Checked! Here’s WhyAdded:
Another very important biioarker to get on your labs is lipoprotein A. This is a sticky nasty cholesterol particle that is inherited. One in five people actually have it. And even if you have a normal LDL and a normal apo B, if your lipoprotein A is elevated, it puts you at much higher risk for heart attack and cardiovascular disease, even stroke than someone who does not have lipoprotein A.
Lipoprotein A is not controlled by what you eat, what you don't eat, your exercise. Unfortunately, it's very hard to lower lipoprotein A. So, we want to if you have high lipoprotein A, know that so that we can be very aggressive about your apo B and your other markers of inflammation. Get your lipoprotein A checked.
