¿A quien medir?

En la actualidad hay consenso en que la Lp(a) debería medirse en todos los adultos al menos una vez en la vida. La Sociedad Europea de Ateroesclerosis (EAS)(1), la Sociedad Canadiense Cardiovascular (CCS)(2) y la Sociedad Europea de Cardiología (ESC)(3) coinciden en dicha recomendación.

Guías Clínicas y Consensos recomiendan hacer screening para Lp(a). ¿Cuándo, a quiénes y por qué?(8). Múltiples guías clínicas y consensos de expertos recomiendan hacer screening para Lp(a) con el objetivo de mitigar el riesgo cardiovascular asociado a Lp(a). Se muestra una sinopsis de las recomendaciones claves para la medición de Lp(a) de American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) (6), Canadian Cardiovascular Society (2), and European Society of Cardiology/European Atherosclerosis Society (ESC/EAS) clinical guidelines (3); and the ACC, American Association Clinical Endocrinology/American College of Endocrinology (AACE/ACE) (7), EAS (1), and National Lipid Association (NLA) (4-5) consensus statements.
