Today is #LpaAwarenessDay. Do you know your Lp(a)?

Fewer than 1% of individuals with elevated levels of Lp(a) are aware of it. Now, a new @americanheart.bsky.social and @accintouch.bsky.social guideline recommends universal Lp(a) screening at least once in a lifetime. More in 🧵

#KnowLpa

Standing room only. Amazing debate on screening: CAC and separately Lpa, are we here for Universal screening?

Today is #LpaAwarenessDay!

1 in 5 people have high Lipoprotein(a)—a genetic risk factor for heart disease and stroke. If cardiovascular disease runs in your family, get tested!

A simple blood test can easily check if your Lp(a) is high.

Check out this #JGIM article by @FaRodriguezMD that showed low testing rates for Lp(a) in a large health system with disparities by race, ethnicity, & other sociodemographic factors.

I’m Jenny, here today to talk about the lipid disorder that led to my heart attack 4 years ago at age 41. I was a nonsmoker. A vegetarian with good LDL/HDL. Now I know more about this genetic risk factor for heart attack and stroke. #KnowLpa @TheFHFoundation

Time to consider a vital new cholesterol Lp(a) testing - Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute Leading cardiologists call for doctors across Australia to start testing for a new marker of ‘bad’ cholesterol.

Most Australians have never heard of Lp(a) but this type of ‘bad’ cholesterol could be behind many heart attacks and runs in families. Find out if you should get tested this Lp(a) Awareness Day:#HeartDisease #cholesterol #Lpa #KnowLpa
