Contribution of Lp(a), hsCRP, and LDL to risk for heart disease in women (avg age 55)

Inflammation #1!

“Participants were grouped into five categories — ranging from those with the highest to lowest levels — to measure each of the three markers. Researchers found that women with the highest levels of LDL cholesterol had a 36% increased associated risk for heart disease compared to those with the lowest levels. Those with the highest levels of Lp(a) had a 33% increased associated risk, and those with the highest levels of CRP had a 70% increased associated risk.”
