Many people with “normal” cholesterol still experience heart disease — and Lipoprotein(a) may be the missing piece.

In this Living Heart Smart episode, cardiologists break down what Lipoprotein(a) is, why it’s genetically determined, and how it can silently increase cardiovascular risk even in otherwise healthy individuals.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What Lipoprotein(a) actually is and why it matters
• Who should consider getting tested
• How Lp(a) differs from standard LDL cholesterol
• Current and emerging treatment strategies
• What you can do today to reduce overall heart risk

Understanding Lipoprotein(a) can help explain risk that traditional cholesterol tests may miss.
