Association between lipoprotein(a) and atherosclerosis with different diabetic status: a cross-sectional study in a Chinese population
In patients with chest pain and DM without cardiovascular disease (CVD), Lp(a) level was significantly associated with subclinical atherosclerosis and had a synergistic effect with DM. Notably, lower Lp(a) levels in patients with DM may lead to an additional subclinical atherosclerosis risk, whereas prediabetes does not show the same association. Therefore, these findings highlight the importance of formulating early preventive strategies for subclinical atherosclerosis based on Lp(a) levels and diabetic status.
