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.  Croí’s free nurse helpline, Croí Connects is available Monday – Friday, 9am – 5.30pm. Call 091 544310 or email [email protected]  You can also register for weekly online health chats on:  https://croi.ie/croi-connects/  This podcast is supported by Novartis.    Produced by www.GKMedia.ie
