The effect of lipoprotein (a) elevation on coronary flow reserve
Our study demonstrates that elevated Lp(a) levels are significantly associated with subclinical atherosclerosis and impaired coronary vasomotor function. These findings suggest that lowering Lp(a) levels could effectively reduce the risk of atherosclerotic disease by targeting its role in atherosclerosis pathogenesis.
