Overview

Retrospective study reveals distinct clinical characteristics based on lipoprotein(a) levels, indicating varying ASCVD risk.

Key Points

  • About 28.5% of individuals exhibited elevated lipoprotein(a) levels ≥ 125 nmol/L, linking them to higher ASCVD risk.
  • Individuals with lipoprotein(a) levels ≥ 400 nmol/L had a 57.7% history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
  • Observational study across a large cohort documented relevant clinical and biochemical parameters from medical records.
  • Findings highlight that normal low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol cannot rule out high lipoprotein(a) levels, necessitating further evaluation.
