Lipoprotein(a) —It Is Risky, but What Do We Do About It?
AbstractPurpose of ReviewLipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a pro-inflammatory, pro-thrombotic, and pro-atherogenic lipoprotein particle. Lp(a) binds and transports oxidized phospholipids in the bloodstream. It is one of the strongest genetic risk factors for coronary artery disease, stroke, and calcific aortic valve stenosis.Recent FindingsElevated Lp(a) levels, or hyperlipoproteinemia(a), is associated with cardiovascular outcomes even in high-risk individuals who achieve their low-density lipoprotein cholesterol target with statins. Lifestyle modification therapy and dietary supplements have little impact on plasma Lp(a) levels....
