Lipoprotein(a) testing for heart disease risk
What is Lipoprotein (a) test! How good is this test for predicting your heart health? Follow up question for the doctors. If you are already diagnosed with diabetes, is there any benefit in getting this test done?
To both of you LPa is a very good test for all South agents to be done at the age of 30 to 40 to find out if you have a higher risk of heart disease. While it does look different in different labs any level above 50 is high and that should motivate you to keep your LDL less than 70 if you are a diabetic and you’re on a statin and your LDL is less than 70 then you do not need to check LPa. We currently have no drugs to lower LPa.
