Why test for Lp(a)?

Even if you feel fine, you may have Lp(a), a genetic mutation carried in families in 20% of the population. This test is ideal if you are over 18* and meet any of the following criteria:

  • Have existing heart conditions
  • Have high blood pressure, diabetes, or are overweight
  • Have a relative that has raised Lp(a)
  • Have a family history of heart disease
  • Want to improve your long-term health

Why should you care?

Lp(a), especially at high levels, is the leading inherited risk factor for:

  • Heart attack
  • Heart disease
  • Stroke
  • Peripheral artery disease

A Lp(a) Cholesterol Test can help identify modifiable risk factors early – and enable effective prevention.

Who can benefit from our Lp(a) Cholesterol Test?

  • Heart patients
    If you have already developed heart disease, this test combined with our expert report will help you assess whether a raised  Lp(a) is  part of the problem. Everyone should know their numbers.
  • Anyone over 18* with a family history of coronary heart disease under 60
    It may be the main heritable cause.
  • Anyone over 18* with a relative who has tested positive for Lp(a)
    Lp(a) is genetic, so if any member of your extended family has Lp(a) it’s vital that you test to see if you have also inherited the gene.
  • Health-conscious adults
    Those who want to monitor and optimise their heart health – especially men and post-menopausal women, over 40.
