Distribution of lipoprotein (a) in a population with cardiovascular events or dyslipidaemia

Aim: High level of lipoprotein(a) has been demonstrated to be an independent cardiovascular risk factor. However epidemiological data about Lp(a) levels in different patient cohorts are scarce. We aim to describe values of Lp(a) in a population of northern Spain with high cardiovascular risk (stroke or acute myocardial infarction) or dyslipidaemia.
