Short Title: ASCVD

Title: ASCVD – LpA analysis

Summary: The overarching aim of this study is to consolidate knowledge from multiple trusts across the United Kingdom (UK) to understand Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) testing’s prevalence and incidence, value of Lp(a) testing and Healthcare Resources Utilization (HCRU) associated with elevated Lp(a).

It aims to address the evidence needs that previous studies in the UK have not fully met about Lp(a) testing. We aim to better understand both the extent to which Lp(a) testing is done, understand the patterns of testing as well as changes in treatment patterns after Lp(a) tests, etc.

The anticipated benefits of addressing these research questions/needs: optimize Lp(a) testing implementation into routine care, ensure better informed treatment for people at risk of heart disease and support healthcare providers in using Lp(a) testing to improve heart health outcomes across the UK.
