No correlation was noted between plasma Lp(a) and proteinuria, albuminemia, total cholesterolemia, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, apoprotein B100, or plasminogen. Furthermore, there was no correlation between Lp(a) levels and apoprotein (a) isoform size. In four patients, the level of Lp(...
Lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) is a recognized risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), which itself increases AF risk, but it remains unknown whether Lp(a) is a causal mediator of AF independent of ASCVD. Objectives This study investigated the role of Lp(a) in AF and ...
In observational analyses for a 50 mg/dl (105 nmol/l) higher lipoprotein(a) level the age- and sex-adjusted hazard ratio for ischemic stroke was 1.20 (95% CI: 1.13 to 1.28), while the corresponding age- and sex-adjusted genetic causal risk ratio for KIV-2 number of repeats was 1.20 ...
To the Editor —The article by Dr Bostom and colleagues reaffirms the importance of an elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] level as a cardiac risk factor. We have postulated previously, based on our analysis of published works, that a pathological interaction exists between increased Lp(a) level...
This genetic association study uses mendelian randomization to examine the association between genetically determined lipoprotein(a) levels and the
find that he had a very high calcium score, despite a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level of just 70 mg/dL. Eventually, he found out that he had a "very, very high Lp(a)," which was particularly concerning because his grandfather died of a heart attack at 45 years of ...
The biologic markers included total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, lipoprotein(a) [LP(a)], C-reactive protein (CRP), and homocysteine. The remodeling index (RI) was defined as a ratio of the (lesion/ proximal ...
200 mg/dL. It is reported that patients with familial hypercholesterolemia 4'~ or diabetic nephropathy 6 have increased levels of this lipoprotein. Niacin and neomycin, both alone and in combination, have been shown to have some ability to reduce Lp(a) levels. 7-9 Bile acid binding resins ...
There were no significant differences in lipoprotein cholesterol con- centrations over the 6-week dietary stabilization period. The mean triglyc- eride level increased 11.5% in the tablet group and decreased 1.8% in the powder group during the diet stabilization period. Postdrug measurements were ...
