Lp- PLA2 (PLAC)Cardiac risk marker-serum Lab Test

Understanding Lp- PLA2 (PLAC)Cardiac risk marker-serum

The Lp- PLA2 (PLAC)Cardiac risk marker-serum test is a specialized blood test used to assess the risk of cardiovascular diseases, particularly those related to inflammation of the arteries. It measures the level of Lipoprotein-associated Phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), an enzyme produced by inflammatory cells that attach to LDL (bad) cholesterol in the blood. Elevated levels of this enzyme indicate plaque inflammation or instability within the arteries, which may increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. This test...
