Abstract This 2022 European Atherosclerosis Society lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] consensus
statement updates evidence for the role of Lp (a) in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease …

Cardiovascular disease is the leading contributor to years lost due to disability or premature
death among adults. Current efforts focus on risk prediction and risk factor mitigation ‚which …

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 …

Lipids are insoluble in water and therefore cholesterol and triglycerides need to be
transported in association with proteins (ie, lipoproteins) in the bloodstream. Lipoproteins …

Abstract High lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] concentrations are one of the most important genetically
determined risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Lp (a) concentrations are an enigmatic …

Since the 2019 National Lipid Association (NLA) Scientific Statement on Use of Lipoprotein
(a) in Clinical Practice was issued, accumulating epidemiological data have clarified the …

Many human proteins contain domains that vary in size or copy number because of variable
numbers of tandem repeats (VNTRs) in protein-coding exons. However, the relationships of …

Background The role of aspirin in reducing lipoprotein (a)-mediated atherothrombotic events
in primary prevention is not established. Objectives This study sought to assess whether low …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] became besides LDL cholesterol one of the most attractive
targets for intervention in cardiovascular disease. Strong genetic evidence supports the …

Background Exposure to metals/metalloids from both the natural environment and
anthropogenic sources have a complex influence on human health. However, relatively few …
