Abstract: Background Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction, although the mechanism for this observation remains uncertain. Objectives This study aims to investigate whether Lp(a) is associated with adverse plaque progression. Methods Lp(a)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/heartjnl-2022-321867
Abstract: Objective In patients with acute chest pain who have had myocardial infarction excluded, plasma cardiac troponin I concentrations ≥5 ng/L are associated with risk of future adverse cardiovascular events. We aim to evaluate the association… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/thoraxjnl-2019-213525
Abstract: Background Fractal dimension (D) characterises the size distribution of low attenuation clusters on CT and assesses the spatial heterogeneity of emphysema that per cent low attenuation volume (%LAV) cannot detect. This study tested the hypothesis… read more here.
