Distribution of lipoprotein (a) levels in patients with lower extremity artery disease and their impact on amputation and survival: a retrospective study
Aggressive LLT in high-risk LEAD patients with elevated Lp(a) levels enabled LDL-C target achievement in a majority by combination of established lipid-lowering agents. An increase in EVR, amputation or death could not be observed in patients with high Lp(a) levels.
