It is well recognized that blood lipoprotein A [Lp (a)] levels constitute an important risk factor
for atherosclerotic vascular disease. In some populations, mainly Caucasian, Lp (a) levels …

Elevated concentrations of lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) in plasma are associated with premature
coronary heart disease (CHD). Lp (a) levels are largely determined by alleles at the …

Background: High plasma lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] level is a strong and important risk factor for
cardiovascular disease (CVD). Small-sized apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] isoforms (F, B, S1 …

Cardiovascular risk is associated with high lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) concentrations and low
molecular weight apolipoprotein (a)(apo (a)) isoforms. We studied the relationship between …

Elevated lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) concentrations are associated with premature coronary heart
disease (CHD). In the general population, Lp (a) levels are largely determined by alleles at …

Lipoprotein Lp (a) excess has been identified as a powerful predictor of premature
atherosclerotic vascular diseases. To evaluate this in a North-Indian population, 130 CAD …

Elevated levels of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] and the presence of small isoforms of apolipoprotein
(a)[apo (a)] have been associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) in whites but not in …

Lp (a) concentrations are largely determined by apo (a) isoform size, but several studies
have shown that apo (a) isoforms could not entirely explain the increase of Lp (a) levels …

The aim of this study was to assess the independent contributions of plasma levels of
lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)), Lp (a) cholesterol, and of apo (a) isoform size to prospective coronary …

We investigated the association of apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] polymorphism with coronary
heart disease in Chinese Han nationality. The effects of the apo (a) phenotypes on …
