AbstractLipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is an atherogenic lipoprotein with a strong genetic regulation. Up to 90% of the concentrations are explained by a single gene, theLPAgene. The concentrations show a several-hundred-fold interindividual variability ranging from less than 0.1 mg/dL to more than 300 mg/dL. Lp(a) plasma concentrations above 30 mg/dL and even

The relationship between the level of Lр(а) and the prevalence of atherosclerosis among young patients [PDF]
Background. Hyperlipoproteinemia (a) is an independent and cause risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD). The correlation between lipoprotein (a) Lp(a) and inflammation in the vessel wall was actively studied during the past few ...

Lipoprotein (a): Recent Updates on a Unique Lipoprotein [PDF]
Genetic, epidemiological, and translational data indicate that Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is likely in the causal pathway for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases as well as calcification of the aortic valves.Lp(a) is structurally similar to low-density lipoprotein, but in addition to apolipoprotein B-100, it has a glycoprotein apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)

Small Interfering RNA to Reduce Lipoprotein(a) in Cardiovascular Disease.
BACKGROUND Lipoprotein(a) is a presumed risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Olpasiran is a small interfering RNA that reduces lipoprotein(a) synthesis in the liver. METHODS We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled,

The Anti-Thrombotic Effects of PCSK9 Inhibitors
Atherosclerosis is the primary process that underlies cardiovascular disease. The connection between LDL cholesterol and the formation of atherosclerotic plaques is established by solid evidence.

High levels of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], an apoB100-containing lipoprotein, are an independent and causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases through mechanisms associated with increased atherogenesis, inflammation, and thrombosis. Lp(a)
