Overview

Retrospective analysis shows elevated lipoprotein(a) levels correlate with increased atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk and changing LDL-C outcomes.

Key Points

  • Individuals with elevated lipoprotein(a) levels show distinct clinical characteristics, including a higher prevalence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
  • A history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease was found in 57.7% of patients with elevated lipoprotein(a) levels ≥ 400 nmol/L.
  • Retrospective study utilized biochemical data from the North Denmark Region Clinical Laboratory System between January 2021 and August 2024.
  • Findings suggest normal low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels do not exclude the possibility of elevated lipoprotein(a) levels.
