Consider a clinical trial for patients with elevated Lp(a) level:
- Clinical studies help researchers learn more about how to treat conditions and diseases, including Lp(a).
- If you're interested in taking part in this study, you will need to be fully assessed to see if you qualify.
- This will include a screening test to check your Lp(a) level. Participants will be compensated for reasonable reimbursement for study-related travel if you qualify for the study.

What is Lp(a)
Many people know that 'bad' cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein (LDL)) can cause heart disease, but you may not have heard of Lp(a) - also known as 'lipoprotein(a)' - which can also be problematic for heart failure. In fact, Lp(a) has been referred to as 'LDL with Velcro', because it's wrapped in a sticky layer that can easily block your arteries. The higher your Lp(a) level, the greater risk of heart disease and stroke.
