Overview

Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is a type of bad cholesterol that can increase blockage of blood vessels. People with elevated Lp(a) are 2 to 4 times more likely to have cardiovascular disease. Around 1 in 6 persons who have had a heart attack found to have high levels of Lp(a) – most are not aware that they have this condition.
Join us at Changi General Hospital (CGH) for Singapore’s inaugural Lipoprotein(a) Awareness Day, where healthcare experts from CGH will share on the who, what, why, and how’s of Lp(a):
• Who should be tested for Lp(a)
• What elevated levels of Lp(a) mean
• Why testing for Lp(a) is important
• How to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, especially for those with elevated Lp(a)
