Lipoprotein(a) concentration has continuous, independent associations with increased risk of coronary heart disease and stroke, specifically for vascular outcomes.
Is Lipoprotein(a) concentration associated with the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and nonvascular mortality?
Lipoprotein(a) concentration has a continuous, independent, and modest association with the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke.
Under a wide range of circumstances, there are continuous, independent, and modest associations of Lp(a) concentration with risk of CHD and stroke that appear exclusive to vascular outcomes.
Sebhat Erqou (2009) studied this question. Lipoprotein(a) concentration has continuous, independent associations with increased risk of coronary heart disease and stroke, specifically for vascular outcomes.
