This 5-minute presentation provides details on a new test for heart disease that goes beyond cholesterol.
The test, known as Lp-PLA2, gives information about inflammation in the coronary arteries and can be used to predict whether a person is at risk for a heart attack or stroke.
This presentation also discusses other “risk factors” and shows the unique mechanism of the new test.
A cardiovascular expert presented the animation at an international cardiology conference and the sponsoring company distributed DVDs to healthcare professionals.
