Lipoprotein(a), Apolipoprotein B & Cardiovascular Risk in African & African-Descent Populations

Cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading health concerns affecting African and African-descent communities worldwide. Emerging research shows that elevated Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) levels may significantly increase cardiovascular risk, yet awareness and routine screening remain limited in many populations.

Join CAMPhA USA for an educational online workshop bringing together healthcare professionals, researchers, students, and community advocates to explore the role of Lp(a) and ApoB in cardiovascular health among African and African-descent populations.

This interactive Zoom workshop will cover:

• Understanding Lipoprotein(a) and Apolipoprotein B
• The relationship between ApoB, Lp(a), and cardiovascular disease
• Why African and African-descent populations may be at increased risk
• Current screening recommendations and diagnostic strategies
• Prevention, lifestyle interventions, and treatment approaches
• The importance of early detection and public awareness
• Future research and clinical opportunities

Participants will gain valuable insights into cardiovascular biomarkers, population-specific risk factors, and strategies to improve patient education and preventive care.

Whether you are a clinician, researcher, public health professional, student, or community member interested in cardiovascular health equity, this workshop will provide practical knowledge and meaningful discussion.

Reserve your spot today and join the conversation on advancing cardiovascular awareness and prevention in African and African-descent communities.
