Summary:
The Other Cholesterol to Watch Out For
Researchers have uncovered a major genetic predictor of heart disease, which explains why very healthy adults can sometimes have heart attacks. It’s a cholesterol called lipoprotein(a)—or Lp(a)—and the amount a person has can’t be changed through dieting or exercise. A research study is looking for adults with previous heart problems to help explore ways to potentially reduce the risk of future cardiovascular events like a heart attack or stroke. Those who qualify will receive the following at no cost:
✅ All study medicines
✅ All study care and screening
✅ Access to specialized doctors and researchers
