What is cardiometabolic health?
Cardiometabolic health refers to the well-being of your cardiovascular and metabolic systems. It can be impacted by many conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, kidney disease, liver disease, obesity, and heart disease. Age, lifestyle, and genetics also play a role in how healthy your cardiometabolic system is.
What is lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)]?
20% of the world’s population has an elevated lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], a very sticky protein (cholesterol) in your blood that is affected by genetics instead of lifestyle. A lipoprotein (a) test can help determine your Lp(a) levels, however, it is typically not covered by insurance.
What are some Lp(a) treatments?
Currently, there are no approved Lp(a) treatments on the market. Participants who screen will have access to learn about research options for the development of Lp(a) treatments.
How is type 2 diabetes diagnosed?
Type 2 diabetes is diagnosed when your pancreas cannot create the hormone insulin that helps lower the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood.
