Check your Lp(a) - lipoprotein (a) - level with a simple finger-prick blood test. Everyone should check their Lp(a) level at least once because it is the commonest genetic risk factor for heart disease.
Worried about heart disease, even if your cholesterol levels are normal? Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is a genetic risk factor for cardiovascular disease that standard cholesterol tests don't detect.
A Lipoprotein (a) test can help identify a plaque build-up causing clogging of your arteries. Plaque is made up of cholesterol, fat, calcium and other substances found in your blood.
