Lp-PLA2 Heart Disease Risk Test

New Jersey rates for HCPCS 83698

This blood test measures the level of an enzyme called lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2, which is linked to inflammation inside artery walls. Elevated levels can indicate a higher risk of plaque buildup and related heart or blood vessel problems, so the test is sometimes used alongside other risk factors to assess cardiovascular risk. It is drawn from a standard blood sample.
