Lipoprotein(a) Education and Research Forum (Lp(a) Forum) is an independent, non-profit, expert-led, global initiative providing clinicians and researchers worldwide with open access, peer-reviewed resources devoted to the exciting and rapidly developing area of Lp(a) science and therapeutics.
The Forum brings together internationally-recognised experts from the scientific and clinical communities who are committed to developing awareness, knowledge and understanding of the importance of Lp(a) as an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and aortic valve stenosis, even when LDL-cholesterol levels are low.
These experts will:
- Communicate understanding about Lp(a) science, and identify gaps in our knowledge
- Support the development of a multimedia educational resource to facilitate timely exchange of scientifically and clinically relevant information within the medical and research community
- Stimulate ideas and discussion about future research opportunities to advance therapeutic strategies and enhance patient care
The Forum provides the scientific and clinical community worldwide with freely-available, regularly updated educational resources. These include accurate and accessible summaries and reviews of latest developments in targeted Lp(a) therapeutics, as well as recorded presentations by distinguished Lp(a) Steering Committee and Board Members, and invited speakers, at Forum scientific meetings. Such resources will support clinicians in optimising the prognosis for patients with elevated risk of cardiovascular disease now and in the future.
