A simple blood test can help you and your family have more informed conversations with your healthcare providers.
Explore these trusted resources for information about Lp(a), testing, inherited risk, and patient support:

For women living with heart disease
My hope is to help kick some collective female butt around here raise awareness of women’s heart disease – which kills more women than breast cancer does every year. In fact, heart disease will kill more women this year than all forms of cancer combined.
Black Heart Association is at the forefront of research, prevention, treatment, and education surrounding heart disease in the Black community.
