Why the study?
It was unknown whether the Lp(a) genetic variants rs10455872 and rs3798220 and KIV-2 repeats are associated with impairment of inflammatory and hemostatic parameters in high-risk coronary artery disease patients.
Does the AC haplotype of Lp(a) gene variants associate with impaired inflammatory and hemostatic parameters in patients after myocardial infarction with elevated Lp(a)?
Population
Patients after myocardial infarction with elevated Lp(a) levels
Comparison
Carriers of the AC haplotype vs non-carriers, and by KIV-2 repeat number

Observational links between Lp(a) variants and inflammatory parameters post-MI remain hypothesis-generating; larger studies needed before clinical relevance.
Does the AC haplotype of Lp(a) gene variants associate with impaired inflammatory and hemostatic parameters in patients after myocardial infarction with elevated Lp(a)?
The AC haplotype of Lp(a) gene variants and the number of KIV-2 repeats are associated with increased pro-inflammatory and anti-fibrinolytic markers in post-MI patients with elevated Lp(a).
