Abstract: High lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] in plasma is an important coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factor and different mechanisms for Lp(a) atherogenicity have been postulated such as interference in coagulation cascade; however, if platelet aggregability may be… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND High lipoprotein(a) concentrations present in 10%-20% of the population have long been linked to increased risk of ischemic cardiovascular disease. It is unclear whether high concentrations represent an unmet medical need. Lipoprotein(a) is currently… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehz746.0300
Abstract: High lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels have been shown to increase Myocardial Infarction (MI) and all-cause mortality. However, studies evaluating the optimal preventive measures for that subset of cardiac patients are scarce. This study aims to study… read more here.

Abstract: PURPOSE OF REVIEW Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is a likely causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and aortic valve disease, confirmed by Mendelian randomization. With reliable assays, it has been established that Lp(a) is… read more here.
