High levels of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], an apoB100-containing lipoprotein, are an independent
and causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases through mechanisms …

Importance Lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) is a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol–like particle
bound to apolipoprotein (a). This novel marker of cardiovascular disease acts through …

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 …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is still a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, despite all
the progress achieved as regards to both prevention and treatment. Having high levels of …

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the leading cause of death among urban
and rural residents in China, and elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a …

Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) is a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol-like particle bound to
apolipoprotein (a). Increased Lp (a) levels are an independent, heritable causal risk factor …

Given rapid advancements in medical science, it is often challenging for the busy clinician to
remain up-to-date on the fundamental and multifaceted aspects of preventive cardiology and …

Background Current guidelines target low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)
concentrations to reduce atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk, and yet …

Background Data support lipoprotein (a)(Lp [Lp (a)]) being a risk factor for atherosclerotic
cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Olpasiran is a small interfering RNA molecule that …

This study reviews ancestral differences in the genetics of the LPA gene, risk categories of
