Genetic heart attack & stroke | Lipoproteine

In the clinic, we often see people aged 30–45 with “good” lab results, normal cholesterol, no bad habits — yet a family history of heart attack or stroke. The Lp(a) test is the one that clarifies the situation. Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a “silent” particle that can damage your arteries without symptoms. It is largely unaffected by diet and exercise and is ~70–90% genetically determined. It has two effects at the same time: it deposits cholesterol in the vessel wall and slows down the dissolution of blood clots. Lp(a) is generally stable over time. A single measurement, obtained outside an acute illness, usually reflects a person’s long-term, largely lifelong risk.
