  • High Risk of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) occurs when there is cholesterol or other fatty build-up (plaques) on the walls of the blood vessels (arteries). Severe buildup of these plaques can block blood flow and increase the risk of serious heart or blood vessel disease events such as heart attacks, strokes, or other blood vessel blockages. ASCVD Risk factors include diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, family history of heart disease and smoking history. Lipoprotein(a) (also known as Lp “little a” and Lp(a)) is a sticky particle that carries cholesterol in the blood. High levels of Lp(a) can increase the chance of plaques building up in the arteries.
