Charlie Windri: CAC as the Missing Link in Lp(a) Risk

Charlie Windri, Laboratory Specialist at FHI 360, Clinical Pathologist at Laboratorium Dia Care Pasar Minggu, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“We’ve been treating Lp(a) like a yes-or-no problem.

It’s not.

Two patients can have the same high Lp(a)… but completely different actual risk.

What makes the difference?

Coronary artery calcium (CAC).

A new study shows CAC doesn’t replace Lp(a).

It translates it into action.

If you’re still unsure when to escalate therapy in primary prevention, this will change how you think.”
