PLAC Test (Lp-PLA2)
- Adults monitoring cardiovascular inflammation markers via Lp-PLA2 activity
- Individuals with borderline LDL seeking deeper vascular risk insight
- Those supporting heart health with a family history of cardiovascular events
About PLAC Test (Lp-PLA2)
The PLAC Test measures Lp-PLA2 (lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2), an enzyme produced in arterial plaque that serves as a specific vascular inflammation marker. Unlike general lipid panels, Lp-PLA2 activity reflects inflammatory activity within arterial walls, making it a targeted option for those seeking a more detailed picture of cardiovascular risk factors. This test is drawn through Access Labcorp and is suited for adults working with a clinician to assess vascular health beyond standard cholesterol metrics.
Why It's Worth Considering: Lp-PLA2 is an FDA-cleared biomarker with independent predictive value for vascular events, offering a more specific signal of arterial inflammation than hsCRP alone.
