Overview

Prospective observational study evaluates clinical outcomes in patients with elevated lipoprotein(a), indicating management improvements are needed.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the clinical management and outcomes of patients with elevated lipoprotein(a).
  • Prospective, longitudinal observational study
  • Enrolled 127 patients with lipoprotein(a) ≥100 nmol/L from April 2024 to April 2025
  • Collected data on demographics, cardiovascular risk factors, and laboratory results at baseline and annually
  • Median lipoprotein(a) level at entry was 225 nmol/L (IQR 186-346 nmol/L)
  • 81.9% of patients were on lipid-lowering therapies, including 74.8% on statins
  • 52.0% of patients had low-density lipoprotein cholesterol <2.0 mmol/L
