Many patients seek out the Kahn Center (kahnlongevitycenter.com) for consultation regarding elevated levels of Lipoprotein(a) cholesterol, also known as Lp(a). In this week's episode, Dr. Kahn discusses a new research paper, along with two others, addressing the question of whether daily aspirin is a wise choice for those who have inherited high Lp(a) levels. He also presents another recent study about the heightened risk of Lp(a) in certain patients post-heart attack.
Additionally, the episode includes mini-topics on heart stents, urinary albumin, and the Portfolio Diet.
