Finding very high lipoprotein(a): the need for routine assessment

Nick S. Nurmohamed et al.

Summary: This study validates the increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) associated with very high levels of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]. It also shows that routine assessment of Lp(a) can lead to significant risk reclassification.

Lipoprotein (a) as a treatment target for cardiovascular disease prevention and related therapeutic strategies: a critical overview

Ioannis Parthymos et al.

Summary: Advances in cardiovascular medicine have led to new treatments with proven efficacy in reducing deaths and improving quality of life. However, cardiovascular disease remains a significant burden. Lipoprotein (a) has emerged as a potential target for treatment due to its association with cardiovascular events. This review presents current evidence of the causal relationship between lipoprotein (a) and cardiovascular disease, explores the necessary magnitude of lipoprotein (a) lowering, and discusses current and investigational treatments and their potential costs.
