Detailed description

Lipoprotein(a) \[Lp(a)\] has emerged as a prevalent monogenetic cardiovascular risk factor globally. Despite its significance, clinical attention for elevated Lp(a) is suboptimal. This cross-sectional study aims to determine the prevalence of elevated Lp(a) levels among volunteer medical students at the Faculty of Medicine, University Hospital of Ioannina, Greece, as well as gather data on the demographic characteristics and medical history of this population. Statistical analysis will assess Lp(a) levels, prevalence, and associations with demographic and cardiovascular risk factors. The study aims to provide valuable insights into the prevalence of elevated Lp(a) among Greek medical students, emphasizing the importance of awareness, early diagnosis, and management of this cardiovascular risk factor.
