Association of lipoprotein(a) with long ‐term mortality following coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention

ConclusionsOur data suggested that an elevated Lp(a) level was significantly associated with long‐term mortality following CAG or PCI. However, additional larger multicenter studies will be required to investigate the predictive value of Lp(a) levels and evaluate the benefit of controlling Lp(a) levels for patients undergoing CAG or PCI.
