Lipoprotein(a) levels in Irish subjects from a specialised lipid centre
This is the largest study of Lp(a) distribution in an Irish population revealing positively skewed Lp(a) serum levels. This is not entirely reflective of the general population but brings to the fore the additional hidden high risks in those patients attending cardiovascular services. More education is needed to increase the use of Lp(a) measurements and guide further therapy.
