There’s another risk to your heart that’s getting new attention

High levels of a fatty particle called Lipoprotein(a) encourage the development of blood clots as well as plaque, sharply raising the risk of stroke, heart attack and other severe problems — even...

This #LpaAwarenessDay we're asking you to consider giving $20 in honor of the 20% with high Lp(a). To continue our work, we must raise funds from our community. The more donors who give and the more dollars we raise, the more we can do. familyheart.org/donate #KnowLpa

Exactly 🏆! Ethnic differences in Lp(a) level and distribution can be partly explained by differences in LPA size and single nucleotide polymorphisms within and surrounding the gene locus. Read more on this topic on our journal! #KnowLpa #LpaAwarenessDay 👉atherosclerosis-journal.com/…

Lipoprotein(a) and ethnicities

The initial studies focusing on lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and its role in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease were conducted exclusively in Whites. Subsequently, multiple large-scale, independent...

This is what I looled like before all of the cardiac events and strokes. This is what Lp(a) looks like. I had no idea and wouldn't be diagnosed for another 7 years. #KnowLpa #FindLpa #lipoproteina #familial #genetic

A4: If you have a family history of early heart disease or have been told that heart disease “runs in your family,” but you’ve never understood why, it’s important to know if you have high Lp(a). #KnowLpa

A1: Lp(a) looks like LDL cholesterol with some key differences. LDL has a single apolipoprotein B attached to its surface. Lp(a), however, has an apolipoprotein B attached to its surface, and that apolipoprotein B has an apolipoprotein(a) attached to it. #KnowLpa

A3: #KnowLpa #LpaAwarenessDay 🫀Those with ⤴️ Lp(a) have 2-4 X greater risk of early heart disease or stroke 🫀Elevated Lp(a) is common: occurs in 1 in 5 people! 🫀Sadly few people know their Lp(a)! Ask for this to be checked in you!

New clinical trial by @Amgen for people with high Lp(a) and ASCVD to assess the effect of treatment with investigational drug olpasiran, which is designed to lower Lp(a), on the risk for major cardiovascular events. #KnowLpa For more info, please visit amgentrials.com/study/?id=20…

Children with a family history of early heart disease should have their lipids screened at age 2 per the AAP so they can #knowFH ASAP #FHAwarenessDay

My only concern is the report spoke to the elderly. This condition does not age discriminate! #knowLPa
