Why get tested?
To give your doctor additional information about your risk of developing heart disease. As part of a targeted screen for coronary artery disease (CAD) and cerebrovascular disease (CVD).

When to get tested?
When you have a family history of elevated Lp(a) levels and/or a family history of premature CAD. When you have heart disease but your lipid profile is normal or shows only mildly elevated levels of cholesterol and/or low-density lipoprotein (LDL).

Sample required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm


Basically it shows an increased risk for heart disease. Eat a low fat diet, avoid red meat entirely, exercise daily.
