A5: Elevated Lipoprotein(a) runs in the family. If you have high Lp(a) all first-degree relatives may have a higher risk of having high Lp(a) too. It’s important for all family members to be tested. #KnowLpa

A6: New research in the JAHA suggests that low dose aspirin even 3x a week may reduce events (cardiac death and heart attack) by up to 46% in people with high Lp(a) and no previous events. Speak to your health care provider to see if aspirin is right for you. #KnowLpa

A6: While it may be tough, if you have high Lp(a), smoking or vaping can increase your risk of #HeartDisease and #Stroke, so you should do your best to quit. #KnowLpa

A7: In one study people whose Lp(a) is in the 99th percentile were 3.4 times more likely to have a heart attack than people whose Lp(a) was less than or equal to the 20th percentile. #KnowLpa

A5: Yes. If you live with FH, check your lipoprotein(a). Having both can raise heart risk, and knowing your numbers helps protect you and your family. Interested in screening your Lp(a) for free? Visit CholesterolConnect.org #KnowFH

A7: FH runs in families—so screening kids is key. American Academy of Pediatrics recommends cholesterol testing by age 2 (with family history) & 9–11 for all kids. Our Family Heart LEAD Pediatric Cholesterol Screening Initiative is working to find families with FH sooner. #KnowFH
