Lipoprotein(a)

Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a genetically determined lipoprotein that increases cardiovascular risk. The 2026-acc-aha-dyslipidemia-guidelines recommends universal screening for Lp(a) at least once in adulthood.

These guidelines provide the clinical framework for managing Lp(a)-related risk alongside dyslipidemia-management strategies.
