Lipoprotein(a)-The Crossroads of Atherosclerosis, Atherothrombosis and Inflammation

Sabina Ugovsek et al.

Summary: Increased levels of lipoprotein(a) are associated with coronary artery disease, degenerative aortic stenosis, and heart failure. These levels are determined by genetic variations of the LPA gene encoding the apolipoprotein(a) component of lipoprotein(a). Lipoprotein(a) increases cardiovascular risk through various mechanisms.

Lipoprotein(a) predicts recurrent cardiovascular events in patients with prior cardiovascular events post-PCI: five-year findings from a large single center cohort study

Na Xu et al.

Summary: This study found that Lp(a) level is an independent predictor for recurrent cardiovascular events in patients with established events, indicating that Lp(a) level might be a valuable biomarker for risk stratification and prognostic assessment in this high-risk population.

Lipoprotein(a) and Cardiovascular Disease

Pia R. Kamstrup

Summary: This review article presents evidence from large genetic epidemiologic studies supporting a causal role of high lipoprotein(a) concentrations in cardiovascular disease, and discusses measurements of lipoprotein(a) and potential treatment options. Further research is needed to confirm causality and evaluate the clinical benefits of lowering therapies.

Summary: MINOCA is not uncommon and has multiple potential coronary etiologies. Multimodality imaging is critical for determining underlying etiology and providing appropriate treatment, resulting in better prognosis for patients.

Beyond Lipoprotein(a) plasma measurements: Lipoprotein(a) and inflammation

Gissette Reyes-Soffer et al.

Summary: Genome-wide association, epidemiological, and clinical studies have shown high Lp(a) to be a causal risk factor for ASCVD, largely determined by genetics. Its link to CVD may be driven by pro-inflammatory effects, particularly its association with oxPL and inflammation. Therapies targeting apo(a) to reduce Lp(a) levels are in clinical trials to assess their impact on cardiovascular outcomes.

Diagnostic pathways in myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA)

Giovanni Occhipinti et al.

Summary: This narrative review discusses the downstream diagnostic approaches to MINOCA and emphasizes the possibility of establishing the underlying cause of MINOCA in the vast majority cases. The exclusion of other possible causes for cardiac troponin elevation has notable implications for tailored secondary prevention measures aimed at improving the overall prognosis of AMI.

Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary artery disease

Bertil Lindahl et al.

Summary: MINOCA, a heterogeneous disease entity seen in 5-10% of all patients with myocardial infarction, has received increasing attention in clinical practice. Challenges remain in the diagnosis, investigation, and management of patients with MINOCA, highlighting the need for further research.

Summary: MINOCA represents a significant proportion of AMI population (up to 15%) and requires multimodality imaging for diagnosis. Personalized therapeutic approach is needed for the management of MINOCA patients.
