THIS overlooked blood test could expose the real cause of heart attacks in people who seem perfectly healthy

Cardiologists highlight Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), a blood component that silently increases heart attack and stroke risk. Even healthy individuals with normal cholesterol can be at risk. Lp(a) is primarily genetic and lifestyle changes do not lower it. A one-time test can reveal elevated levels. Managing other heart health factors is crucial while research continues for targeted treatments.
