Higher lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) levels are associated with greater baseline coronary artery plaque burden and faster long-term plaque progression. Studies of Lp(a)-lowering therapies are underway.

Elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is an independent, genetically determined risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), with levels >50 mg/dL affecting 20–30% of the global ...

Pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β) are produced in large quantities locally in the joints and subsequently enter the bloodstream. TNF-α and IL-6 may promote LDL metabolism by ...
