American Heart Association Launches Initiative to Combat Hidden Heart Disease Risk
American Heart Association's new project aims to increase Lp(a) testing to combat cardiovascular disease, a leading global health threat.
This initiative is crucial because it addresses a widespread but underrecognized risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which remains the leading cause of death worldwide. By increasing awareness and accessibility of Lp(a) testing, the project empowers individuals to take proactive steps in managing their heart health, potentially saving lives and reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease on communities and healthcare systems.
