The Hidden Heart Risk: Elevated Lipoprotein(a) in India

Elevated Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is a genetic risk factor that silently increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Nearly one in four Indians may have high Lp(a), but most remain unaware. Unlike lifestyle risks such as obesity or diabetes, Lp(a) levels are determined by genes and often go undiagnosed.

This video explains what Lp(a) is, why it matters for heart health, and why early screening and awareness are critical in India. Scientists estimate that testing and education can play a key role in saving lives from sudden and preventable heart disease.
