What is Lipoprotein(a) (Lipoprotein(a))?
Lipoprotein(a) is measured as part of a lipid / cholesterol panel. Your Lipoprotein(a) is in the desirable range.
What does a high Lipoprotein(a) mean?
Your Lipoprotein(a) is elevated. This is a largely genetic, independent risk factor for heart disease. While it's hard to change with lifestyle, knowing it helps your doctor manage your overall cardiovascular risk more aggressively.
