Prognostic value of lipoprotein (a) level in patients with coronary artery disease: a meta-analysis

Abstract: Background Elevated lipoprotein (a) is recognized as a risk factor for incident cardiovascular events in the general population and established cardiovascular disease patients. However, there are conflicting findings on the prognostic utility of elevated lipoprotein (a) level in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).Thus, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the prognostic value of elevated lipoprotein (a) level in CAD patients. Methods and results A systemati… Show more

“…The incidence of AF in patients with CHD is significantly higher than that in healthy people, and CHD usually indicates more severe arteriosclerosis and is associated with poor prognosis in patients with AIS. Our results suggest that CHD is associated with END in patients with CCE (Drakopoulou et al., 2019; Ferrari & Fox, 2016; Wang et al., 2019). Blood pressure (BP) may contribute to the development of END and to poor outcomes by affecting cerebral perfusion (Toni et al., 1998).…”

“…31 Numerous meta-analyses agreed that elevated Lp(a) levels were proven as a marker of increased cardiovascular risk. [32][33][34][35][36][37][38] Some metanalyses also showed that Lp(a) was a risk factor for ischemic stroke. 39,40 Although there are differences among various methods of Lp(a) determination, it remains clear that elevated Lp(a) levels are mildly associated with cardiovascular event for a broad spectrum of subgroups.…”

“…Several studies have reported that elevated Lp(a) concentrations were associated with an increased risk of CHD (13)(14)(15)(16). However, due to different assays of Lp(a), racial differences, heterogeneity and complexity of the structure of Lp(a), studies have reported inconsistent results (17). The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) (12) revealed no relation between Lp(a) and CHD in 548 Chinese-American individuals regardless of whether the 300 or 500 mg/L cutoff for Lp(a) was used after stratification by race/ethnicity.…”
