Cholesterol therapy: Lpa is part of the cholesterol metabolism pathway. Lpa has recently been shown to be associated with increased risk for heart disease and stroke. Treating lpa by itself is not important but looking at the entire lipid profile will help determine the optimal medication strategy. The goal is to not just decrease lpa but to have a lipid profile with reductions in ldlc and lpa and increase in hdl.
