Lipoprotein(a) awareness and knowledge: Lp(a)AK survey

Participation is entirely anonymous, and your input is invaluable to our mission

As part of ISCP initiatives, we are pleased to invite you to participate in the Lipoprotein(a) awareness and knowledge: Lp(a)AK survey. This anonymous survey aims to gather valuable insights into healthcare professionals' understanding of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], an intriguing yet underexplored cardiovascular risk factor.

What is the survey about?

Discovered in 1963, lipoprotein(a) remains enigmatic in terms of its physiological role, though its pathophysiological impact as a cardiovascular risk factor is increasingly recognized. This survey explores:

• The level of awareness among healthcare professionals about Lp(a)
• Perceived knowledge gaps and educational needs

Who should participate?

We encourage all healthcare professionals involved in cardiovascular care—including physicians, cardiologists, general practitioners, lipid specialists, pharmacists, specialised nurses, and other related health care professionals - to take part. We endeavour to gather perspectives from as many countries as possible. To achieve this, we encourage our Members to share this survey with colleagues and professionals who are well-positioned to contribute. Your insights will help us identify global trends and knowledge gaps, shaping future ISCP educational and research efforts.

Why is your input important?

Your feedback will contribute to a better understanding of the current state of Lp(a) awareness and inform strategies to address this important yet often overlooked topic in cardiovascular health.

Next Steps?

Please complete the survey as soon as possible. Participation is entirely anonymous, and your input is invaluable to our mission.
