Description

Dr. Erin Faules speaks with Dr. Damon Forbes about Lp(a), a genetically influenced lipoprotein linked to cardiovascular disease risk. They discuss how Lp(a) differs from LDL, its role in plaque and clotting, and why a one-time test can help clarify long-term risk. The conversation covers who to screen and when, interpreting Lp(a) alongside apoB and metabolic health, evidence-based ways to lower overall cardiovascular risk, and emerging Lp(a)-lowering therapies
