Key result
In patients with acute myocardial infarction, Lipoprotein(a) levels showed a weak but significant increase over 6 days (p=0.001) that correlated with changes in total and LDL cholesterol.

Lp(a) fluctuations post-AMI should not guide care; leaves open whether serial values refine prognosis beyond LDL.
Observational (n=32)
p-value: p=0.001
Lp(a) shows a weak and variable increase following acute myocardial infarction, which correlates with changes in total and LDL cholesterol rather than acute-phase proteins.
Slunga et al. (1992) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction (n=32). Biomarker measurement (Lipoprotein(a) and acute-phase proteins) was evaluated on Relation between relative values of Lp(a) and time in days (p=0.001). In patients with acute myocardial infarction, Lipoprotein(a) levels showed a weak but significant increase over 6 days (p=0.001) that correlated with changes in total and LDL cholesterol.
