How is high Lipoprotein(a) diagnosed?
In this video, Dr Ravi Assomull explains that a simple, one-time blood test is all that is needed to measure Lipoprotein(a) levels. Since these levels are set early in life and remain stable, routine repeat testing is not necessary unless future treatments require it. This video offers a clear overview of the diagnostic process.
