Episode 02 - Lp(a), the risk factor for heart disease and stroke you have probably never heard of.

In this episode, we’re talking about a risk factor for heart disease and stroke that you’ve probably never heard of — Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a). Despite its significant impact, most of us have never heard of it. Consultant cardiologist Dr. Paddy Barrett joins us to explain what Lp(a) is, how common it is, and why it’s so important to get it tested at least once in your life. 

If you’re interested in understanding more about hidden risks and proactive heart health and stroke prevention, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
