This test measures the activity of Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), an enzyme linked to inflammation and found in atherosclerotic plaques. High levels of Lp-PLA2 are associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. This test can help identify individuals at higher risk of cardiovascular events, aiding in the decision to start or intensify risk reduction strategies.
What patients is this test right for?
This test is particularly useful for individuals who are being evaluated for cardiovascular disease risk, alongside traditional risk factors.
