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 …

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 …

Abundant evidence links elevated levels of lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) to higher cardiovascular
risk, leaving clinicians with the challenge of what measures to take to mitigate Lp (a) …

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 …

Elevated circulating concentrations of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is strongly associated with
increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) and degenerative aortic …

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

Purpose To review current knowledge of elevated lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] levels in relation to
atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and discuss their potential use as …

Recent genetic studies have put the spotlight back onto lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] as a causal
risk factor for coronary heart disease. However, there remain significant gaps in our …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a), or Lp (a), is structurally like low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) but differs
in that it contains glycoprotein apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)]. Due to its prothrombotic and …

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) …
