Leptin is a blood test that has recently been found to be elevated in patients with heart disease. Dr. Virend Somers, from the Mayo Clinic, discusses the study linking Leptin and heart disease, and how this might be used in the future for treatment of heart disease.

I would like for my cardiologist to check for leptin levels. I want to do everything possible to reduce my risk of heart disease. Please add more information about this and how this in addition to high cholestorol would put me and my family and friends at risk.
