The elevation of lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) is a common risk factor responsible for considerable cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. To address this, the ACC has developed the Elevating Lp(a) Awareness: Bridging the CVD Risk Knowledge Gap online course. Learn about the unique role of Lp(a) as a genetic determinant for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk and the importance of testing for Lp(a) levels to better understand your patients' cardiovascular health. Erin D. Michos, MD, FACC, outlines quick tips in the first video lesson, "Lipoprotein(a): Quick Take-Aways."
