Human epidemiologic and genetic evidence using the Mendelian randomization approach
in large-scale studies now strongly supports that elevated lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a causal …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the association of apolipoprotein
(a)(apo [a]) isoforms with cardiovascular disease risk. Background: Although circulating …

An elevated serum level of lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) may be an independent risk factor for
atherosclerotic disease, but the relation of Lp (a) to aortic valve (AV) sclerosis has not been …

Since its identification by Kåre Berg in 1963, lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] has become a focus of
research interest owing to the results of case-control and prospective studies linking …

Background Elevated lipoprotein (Lp)(a) concentrations are associated with coronary artery
disease and myocardial infarction. Lp (a) is structurally related to proteins involved in lipid …

Elevated plasma concentrations of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] are associated with coronary
atherosclerosis in Caucasians. Although African-Americans have a higher median plasma …

Elevated plasma lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a relatively common and highly heritable trait
conferring individuals time-dependent risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular …

The present study was designed to confirm the transient increases of plasma Lp (a) levels as
an acute-phase reactant and to clarify the significance of these increases with the use of …

The assembly between a low-density lipoprotein particle and apolipoprotein (a), a highly
carbohydraterich protein, gives origin to a peculiar class of lipoproteins, only found in the …

To evaluate whether a high level of lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) is a risk for the development of
coronary heart disease (CHD), 94 Japanese patients and 64 age-matched Japanese …
