Great to work with @MarlysLPA on #lipoprotein(a). While awaiting full results of #HORIZON important to remember we can act NOW with info on Lp(a) @BCMHeart @BCM_CVRI @nationallipid @CMHC_CME @Texas_Heart @society_eas @vijay_nambi @LaylaAbushamat
In honor of #CholesterolMonth, the NLA is proud to release the second installment of the Lipids Simplified Series: Lipoprotein(a) Management Simplified.
Following the success of our LDL-C Management Simplified publication, we felt there was no more timely or necessary topic to tackle next than Lp(a).
Authored by leading Lp(a) experts Marlys L. Koschinsky, PhD, FNLA and Christie M. Ballantyne, MD, MNLA, this article and accompanying infographic are designed to distill the complexity surrounding Lp(a) into clear, actionable guidance for clinicians. Our goal is simple: make this essential science more accessible and easier to apply in everyday practice.
🔗 Access the full article and infographic at lipid.org/resource/lipoprote….
👉 You can find this and other NLA articles under the Articles section of our newly launched lipid.org.
Stay tuned... more topics in the Lipids Simplified Series are on the way!

Let's discuss Lp(a). Jump in and be part of this vital conversation. #CholesterolMonth
Questions are in the thread.👇

One key fact that everyone should know about Lp(a):
Comprehensive cardiometabolic screening and management using just lipids and basic biometrics is incomplete without also considering a one-time Lp(a) value for the individual.
Lp(a) + lipoproteins + IR + glycemic status + noninvasive imaging results + inflammation + biometrics + clinical history
Marlys Koschinsky retweeted
Yes Lp(a) concentrations varies by race and ethnicity. First graphic below shows gender and racial differences in US. Also note there can be slight variability in coincentrations over time - women should repeat after menopause

@MarlysLPA and @MBBoffa review the emerging data on the role of Lp(a) in PAD: many mysteries remain, especially the mechanisms!
