Lipoprotein-a and white matter abnormalities: predicting small vessel disease in young patients with ischemic cerebrovascular events
Elevated Lp(a) levels are a significant biomarker for WMHs and cSVD in young stroke patients, offering prognostic value beyond traditional risk factors. Incorporating Lp(a) testing into routine stroke evaluations could enable early identification and tailored management strategies to mitigate further vascular damage and cognitive decline.
