Cross-sectional study of lipoprotein(a) and the severity of coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease in a group of South Asian patients
In this group, we identified a statistically significant difference with higher Lp(a) levels being associated with more severe coronary disease (SYNTAX tertile 2,3). Despite a numerical trend, statistical significance was not confirmed for Lp(a) levels in relation to MADS2-CVD or MADS2-PVD scores. A larger study may be required to assess these aspects.
