Are higher plasma lipoprotein(a) concentrations associated with faster rates of hemodynamic progression in patients with aortic stenosis?
Higher plasma lipoprotein(a) levels are associated with faster hemodynamic progression of aortic stenosis, highlighting it as a potential therapeutic target.
In this study, higher plasma lipoprotein(a) concentrations were associated with faster rates of hemodynamic progression in patients with aortic stenosis. Lowering plasma lipoprotein(a) concentrations warrants further investigation in the prevention and treatment of aortic stenosis.
Arsenault et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
