For people at high risk of heart problems who have a specific bad cholesterol (Lp(a)) but normal LDL, a special blood-cleaning treatment called lipoprotein apheresis cuts their chances of having a heart attack or stroke by more than 70% each year.

A special blood-filtering treatment called lipoprotein apheresis can lower 'bad' cholesterol by almost 60% in people who have high levels of a risky protein called Lp(a) but otherwise normal cholesterol—after using it for about 7 years on average.

For people who have high levels of a risky blood fat called lipoprotein(a) but normal cholesterol, a special blood-cleaning treatment called lipoprotein apheresis can help prevent heart attacks and strokes for many years.

A special blood-filtering treatment called lipoprotein apheresis can cut down a harmful type of cholesterol called Lp(a) by about two-thirds in people who have high levels of it but normal LDL cholesterol, and this effect lasts for years.

People with higher levels of 'bad' cholesterol in their blood are more likely to have heart attacks or other heart problems.
