Why the study?
Is elevated Lipoprotein(a) associated with large artery atherosclerosis stroke aetiology and recurrent cerebrovascular events in individuals aged <60 years or with evident arteriosclerotic disease?
Is elevated Lipoprotein(a) associated with large artery atherosclerosis stroke aetiology and recurrent cerebrovascular events in individuals aged <60 years or with evident arteriosclerotic disease?
Elevated Lipoprotein(a) is an independent risk factor for large artery atherosclerosis stroke etiology and recurrent cerebrovascular events in younger patients (<60 years) and those with evident arteriosclerotic disease.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports Lp(a) testing in younger LAA stroke patients; leaves open whether lowering Lp(a) reduces recurrence.
Elevated Lp(a) was independently associated with LAA stroke aetiology and risk of recurrent cerebrovascular events among primarily Caucasian individuals aged <60 years or with evident arteriosclerotic disease.
