This video covers the relationship between coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring and an elevated lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), including what current cholesterol guidelines say, what an new CAC-Lp(a) study discovered, and if a CAC score still provides useful information for those with an elevated lipoprotein(a).

It also discusses what happens when CAC is zero with elevated Lp(a), when CAC is higher with elevated Lp(a), what a CAC scan may miss, what the study does not tell us, and what this all this means for your risk.
