Understanding Lipoprotein A in New Delhi


What is Lipoprotein A in New Delhi?

A Lipoprotein A test measures a specific particle, known as lipoprotein (a), in the blood. It is performed to assess the risk of possible heart diseases such as heart attack, and stroke. The test is usually performed in people with a family history of heart disease or in those at high risk for developing heart ailments.

What does Lipoprotein A measure?

A Lipoprotein A test measures the amount of lipoprotein A (Lp-A) particles in your blood. Lipoprotein A is a mixture of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and a protein called apolipoprotein A. Lp-A levels are largely determined by genetics. Lp-A levels are not significantly affected by diet, exercise, or lifestyle changes, unlike other types of cholesterol. That is why testing for Lp-A is essential, particularly for individuals with a strong family history of cardiovascular (heart or blood vessel) disease. This test can help identify individuals who are at high risk, enabling early intervention to prevent future complications.
