It’s called Lp(a) — lipoprotein a. → It’s almost entirely genetic — diet / exercise isn’t enough to modify it → Elevated levels significantly raise your risk of cardiovascular disease (heart attack and stroke) The 2026 ACC/AHA cholesterol guidelines now recommend every adult have it checked at least once in their lifetime. • Levels above 125 nmol/L carry about 1.4x the average risk. Above 250nmol/L? Double the risk. • If it comes back elevated — here’s what we have right now: PCSK9 inhibitors reduce Lp(a) by about 25-30% while simultaneously cutting LDL by 50-60%. In the FOURIER trial, patients with elevated Lp(a) saw a 23% reduction in coronary events. COMING SOON… And the most exciting news? New RNA-based therapies in clinical trials right now can reduce Lp(a) by up to 80-98%. We are genuinely on the edge of a treatment revolution for this.🥹 🎯 Find the right doctor and stay up to date and evidence-based. #HeartHealth #KnowYourNumbers #PreventiveCardiology #ACC2026 #Lpa
