Genetic and epidemiological studies have identified lipoprotein(a) as a risk factor for ...
Death of heart muscle tissue is the definition of a heart attack, technically called a myocardial infarction. Because it can contribute to heart attacks, the lower the LDL the better.
A lipoprotein is a biochemical assembly whose primary function is to transport hydrophobic lipid (also known as fat) molecules in water, as in blood plasma or other extracellular fluids. They consist of a triglyceride and cholesterol center, surrounded by a phospholipid outer shell, with the hydrophilic portions oriented outward toward the ...
“Lipoprotein(a) is determined genetically, and there's almost nothing that we can do to modulate that,” he says. “You're going to live and die with the same amount of lipoprotein.”
According to a solid collection of scientific evidence, high levels of lipoprotein(a)—also known as Lp(a), pronounced “L-P-little-a”—leads to an increased risk of atherosclerotic ...

Blood lipids (or blood fats) are lipids in the blood, either free or bound to other molecules.They are mostly transported in a phospholipid capsule, and the type of protein embedded in this outer shell determines the fate of the particle and its influence on metabolism.
Ridker and his team found that in addition to LDL cholesterol, two other markers — a type of fat in the blood called lipoprotein (a), or Lp(a), and an indicator of inflammation — are important ...
