Lipoprotein (a)

Baillière's Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1995
Lipoprotein (a) is similar to low-density lipoprotein but is unique in having an additional apolipoprotein called apolipoprotein (a) (apo(a)) covalently linked to it. apo(a), which is a member of the plasminogen gene superfamily, has a protease domain which cannot be activated to cause fibrinolysis.

Lipoprotein (a)

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 2014
Despite being both the longest known and the most prevalent genetic risk marker for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD), little progress has been made in agreeing a role for lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] in clinical practice and developing therapies with specific Lp(a)-lowering activity.

Lipoprotein(a) apheresis

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 2016
Purpose of review Currently, different methods for extracorporeal elimination of atherogenic apolipoprotein B100 containing lipoprotein particles are used in clinical practice. Most of them effectively remove both lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and LDL.

Lipoprotein(a) metabolism

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 2014
Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is an atherogenic lipoprotein. The metabolism of this lipoprotein is still not well understood.It has long been known that the plasma concentration of Lp(a) is highly heritable, with its genetic determinants located in the apo(a) locus and regulating the rate of hepatic apo(a) production.

Lipoprotein(a): A Lipoprotein Whose Time Has Come

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2017
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the USA and around the world. While we are now able to achieve significant low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering with current therapies, many patients remain at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] has been shown to be an independent
