Lipoprotein(a ) is a type of cholesterol that lurks in the body, undetected by routine tests and undeterred by existing drugs, diet or exercise.

Some 64 million Americans in the U.S. are genetically predisposed to abnormally high levels of Lp(a). People with high levels are at extremely high risk of cholesterol buildup in their arteries.
