THE LIPOPROTEIN (A) OR LP(A) TEST MEASURES THE LEVEL OF A SPECIFIC CHOLESTEROL-CARRYING PARTICLE IN YOUR BLOOD. HIGH LP(A) LEVELS ARE STRONGLY LINKED TO AN INCREASED RISK OF HEART DISEASE AND STROKE. UNLIKE TRADITIONAL CHOLESTEROL TESTS, LP(A) LEVELS ARE LARGELY INHERITED AND CANNOT BE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWERED THROUGH LIFESTYLE CHANGES OR MEDICATIONS. CURRENTLY, THE TEST IS PRIMARILY USED FOR ASSESSING CARDIOVASCULAR RISK IN INDIVIDUALS WITH A STRONG FAMILY HISTORY OF HEART DISEASE OR THOSE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED HEART PROBLEMS DESPITE NORMAL CHOLESTEROL LEVELS.
