1/17 Happy Saturday, everyone! I‘m Michael Boffa, Assoc Prof of Biochemistry at Western University in London, Canada. @westernuBiochem @SchulichMedDent @WesternU. Thank you to @Lpa_Doc for the kind invitation to be a guest Tweetorial leader – today’s lesson: Lp(a) and thrombosis!
2/17 I have been studying Lp(a) with @MarlysLPA for >20 yrs. There’s never been a more exciting time for Lp(a)! Fun fact about me: I have very high Lp(a) (250 mg/dL) and I’m our lab’s main blood donor. If you see lab studies using purified Lp(a), it is probably mine!
3/17 Word association: heart attack…atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Amirite? 😅 But the direct cause is actually thrombosis: in this case, a blood clot in a coronary artery blocking blood flow to heart muscle.
