Episode description as stored
Pronounced, el-pee-little-a, this lipoprotein is simply described as a low density lipoprotein (LDL) that has an apoprotein "a" attached to it...but Lp(a) goes far beyond its description in terms of its structure, function, and the role that it plays in cardiovascular health and disease. Affecting about 1-in-5 people, and not on the radar of many doctors, this is a deep dive into a very important subject for people to understand. A quick primer on lipoproteins [7:30]; Intro to Lp(a) [11:00]; Lab tests for Lp(a) and reference ranges [20:00]; The physiologic functions of Lp(a) [31:00]; The problems associated with high Lp(a) [34:15]; Lipid-lowering therapies of Lp(a) [44:45]; Lp(a) modification through lifestyle intervention [1:00:45]; High LDL-P on a ketogenic/low-carb-high-fat diet [1:05:30]; and More Learn more at  www.PeterAttiaMD.com Connect with Peter on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram .
