Today is #LpaAwarenessDay. Do you know your Lp(a)?

Fewer than 1% of individuals with elevated levels of Lp(a) are aware of it. Now, a new @americanheart.bsky.social and @accintouch.bsky.social guideline recommends universal Lp(a) screening at least once in a lifetime. More in 🧵

Today is #LpaAwarenessDay!

1 in 5 people have high Lipoprotein(a)—a genetic risk factor for heart disease and stroke. If cardiovascular disease runs in your family, get tested!

A simple blood test can easily check if your Lp(a) is high.

Check out this #JGIM article by @FaRodriguezMD that showed low testing rates for Lp(a) in a large health system with disparities by race, ethnicity, & other sociodemographic factors.

I’m Jenny, here today to talk about the lipid disorder that led to my heart attack 4 years ago at age 41. I was a nonsmoker. A vegetarian with good LDL/HDL. Now I know more about this genetic risk factor for heart attack and stroke. #KnowLpa @TheFHFoundation
