Lipoprotein(a) Does Not Correlate with Hypertensive Mediated Organ Damage and Subsequent Cardiovascular Events in a Primary Prevention Cohort

Key Points

• To investigate the relationship between lipoprotein(a) levels and organ damage or cardiovascular events in a primary prevention cohort.
• Analyzed Lp(a) levels in a primary prevention cohort
• Assessed structural damage to the heart and carotid arteries
• Measured aortic stiffness
• Evaluated links with cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality
• Elevated Lp(a) levels did not correlate with significant heart damage
• No association found between Lp(a) and increased aortic stiffness
• No links between Lp(a) levels and cardiovascular events or mortality were observed
