Lipoprotein Enzyme Lp-PLA2
Lipoprotein Enzyme, also known as Lp-PLA2 is an enzyme in the bloodstream which has been considered to have a strong correlation with artery blockage and a possibility of stroke or heart disease. The enzyme helps in the build-up of fatty cholesterol deposits in the lining of the coronary arteries producing an inflammatory response. This causes a heart attack or stroke. If the test detects the level of Lp-PLA2 to be high, then you may be at a high risk of suffering from cardiovascular diseases.
