Why Statins May Not Be Working For You | LP(a) Info

Could a hidden genetic factor be putting you at risk for heart disease and leg artery blockages? Learn about Lp(a), the dangerous cholesterol particle that affects 1 in 5 people worldwide but rarely gets tested.

This short explains how high Lp(a) can lead to early heart attacks, stroke, and peripheral artery disease (PAD) - a condition more prevalent and deadlier than most cancers combined. Those leg cramps, pain, and "neuropathy" could actually be PAD that's commonly misdiagnosed as arthritis, back problems, or fibromyalgia.

For those with dangerously high Lp(a) levels, treatments like Liposorber can help when standard therapies fail, with promising new medications currently in clinical trials.

Get tested. Know your Lp(a) number. For more information about testing, visit familyheartfoundation.org or call the Global PAD Association's Leg Saver Hotline: 1-833-PAD-LEGS.
