Lipoprotein (a) Test – Greenville,
The Lipoprotein (a) Test is a medical examination that measures levels of lipoprotein (a) in the blood, a genetic variation of LDL cholesterol. Elevated Lipoprotein (a) levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. However, Lipoprotein (a) itself doesn’t cause specific symptoms. It acts as a marker for potential heart-related problems. High levels may signal a higher risk of heart attacks and strokes. Physicians may recommend this test, especially for individuals with a family history of heart disease, to assess cardiovascular risk and determine appropriate preventive measures and treatments.
