Two decades ago, it was recognized that lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) concentrations were
elevated in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the importance of Lp (a) …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is an established cardiovascular risk factor, and growing
evidence indicates its causal association with atherosclerotic disease because of the …

Importance Lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) is a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol–like particle
bound to apolipoprotein (a). This novel marker of cardiovascular disease acts through …

Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) is a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol-like particle bound to
apolipoprotein (a). Increased Lp (a) levels are an independent, heritable causal risk factor …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) was discovered more than 50 years ago, and a decade later,
it was recognized as a risk factor for coronary artery disease. However, it has gained …

Aims The aims of the study were, first, to critically evaluate lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] as a
cardiovascular risk factor and, second, to advise on screening for elevated plasma Lp (a), on …

Lipoprotein (a)-Lp (a)-is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Indeed, individuals with plasma concentrations of Lp (a)> 200 mg/l carry an increased risk of …

Abstract Purpose of Review The purpose of this article is to review current evidence for
lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) as a risk factor for multiple cardiovascular (CV) disease phenotypes …

Despite the wealth of epidemiologic evidence supporting Lp (a) concentration as a CHD risk
factor, the lack of a definitive functional mechanism involving an Lp (a)-dependent pathway …

Increased lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) levels are an independent predictor of coronary artery
disease (CAD), degenerative aortic stenosis (DAS), and heart failure independent of CAD …
