NCT ID NCT05962827
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study checks if people with lymphedema have higher levels of lipoprotein(a), a substance linked to heart disease. Researchers will test blood from 100 adults with lymphedema to see how common high LP(a) is. The goal is to learn if lymphedema patients need extra heart risk monitoring.
