In recent decades, lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] has emerged as an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) [1]. Its measurement has since been incorporated into cardiovascular guidelines globally [2-4].
To facilitate understanding of the clinical utility of Lp(a) and its association with cardiovascular risk, Roche Diagnostics hosted a webinar on 1 November 2023. The webinar featured presentations from Prof Steven Nicholls, Program Director at Victorian Heart Hospital, A/Prof David Sullivan, Clinical Associate Professor at Sydney Medical School, University of Sydney, and A/Prof Karam Kostner, Director of Cardiology at Mater Hospital in Sydney.
