30% of People Have This Hidden Heart Disease Risk! Lipoprotein(a) Test Explained | CEC

Описание: 30% of People Have This Hidden Heart Disease Risk!

Lipoprotein(a) is a genetically inherited risk factor for heart disease, and up to 30% of people have high levels without even knowing it. Unlike other risk factors, Lipoprotein(a) is independent of cholesterol, diet, or lifestyle, making it crucial to get tested at least once in your adult life.

Why You Should Care:

✔️ Lipoprotein(a) is genetically determined – meaning diet & exercise won’t lower it.
✔️ It increases your risk of heart disease and stroke, even if other numbers look good.
✔️ A simple blood test can help identify if you're at risk early on.
