Summary

This study checks how common high levels of lipoprotein(a) — a genetic risk factor for heart disease — are among hospital staff and their families. About 2800 participants will give blood samples and be followed over time to see if high levels lead to more heart problems. The goal is to learn more about who is at risk and how different ethnic groups are affected.
