Relationship between apolipoprotein(a) isoforms and lipoprotein(a) levels in patients with acute coronary syndrome

Key Points

• Lipoprotein(a) levels were significantly correlated with specific apolipoprotein(a) isoforms, indicating their role in cardiovascular risk.
• In patients experiencing acute coronary syndrome, certain isoforms of apolipoprotein(a) were found to influence lipoprotein(a) levels.
• Assessment of lipid profiles and biomarker levels were conducted in a cohort of patients with acute coronary syndrome over several weeks.
• Findings support the potential of targeting apolipoprotein(a) isoforms in therapeutic strategies for cardiovascular health.
