Best of Lipid Forum®: Examining the Role of Lp(a) as a Risk Factor in Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease
Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a low-density lipoprotein particle that is associated with poor cardiovascular prognosis due to its pro-atherogenic, pro-thrombotic, pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidative properties. Unfortunately, traditional lipid-lowering therapy does not provide sufficient Lp(a) reduction. High levels of Lp(a) are an independent and causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) through mechanisms associated with increased atherogenesis, inflammation, and throm... |
