In this episode, we sit down with Prof. Florian Kronenberg, a leading expert in genetic epidemiology, to explore the latest breakthroughs in Lp(a) research.

As a key contributor to the EAS Consensus Statement on Lp(a), Prof. Kronenberg shares how these guidelines are shaping clinical practice, debunks common misconceptions - including confusion around Lp(a) thresholds - and highlights the biggest unanswered questions in the field.

We discuss upcoming significant events in the Lp(a) area, such as the Lp(a) International Task Force and the 1st Global Lp(a) Summit, which brings together KOLs, patients, and policymakers to advocate for real change.

In the end, we talk with our guest about his involvement in the Atherosclerosis Journal as Deputy Editor.
