Elevated Lipoprotein a

2024-11-04 14:32:24
My recent blood test revealed Lipoprotein a as 89 mg/dl, even though LDL is only 121 mg/dl. Am I at highest risk of developing cardiovascular disease? Should I get any other investigations done?

Yes, your risk is high as compared to the average population. You should consult a cardiologist physically and get yourself evaluated further for the complete management.
