Overview

Interviews reveal that physicians across 7 countries endorse Lp(a) testing, suggesting improved patient outcomes.

Key Points

  • Most physicians agree that Lp(a) testing can benefit patients and their relatives, with 94% supporting its utility.
  • Access to Lp(a) testing varies significantly, with only 43% of physicians having measurement access in their practice.
  • The definition of elevated Lp(a) varies widely among physicians, with many unsure about its clinical interpretation.
  • There is an urgent need for improved physician education on Lp(a) to aid in clinical decision-making.
