Did you know? High levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in your blood can increase your risk of stroke.
MPO is an inflammatory marker that can help predict your risk for both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes.
- Risk: High MPO levels are linked to a higher risk of stroke.
- Role: MPO damages the brain and blood-brain barrier, contributing to stroke development.
- Biomarker: MPO is a “high-risk” biomarker for stroke and other cardiovascular conditions.
- Treatment: Research suggests inhibiting MPO activity could be a promising strategy for stroke prevention.
Take action:
- Knowing your MPO levels can give you valuable insights into your cardiovascular health.
- As your healthcare provider, I’m committed to helping you take proactive steps to keep you healthy.
