Sex-specific influence of Lipoprotein(a) levels on coronary plaque characteristics: - The COPRODUCTION Registry -
Our study identifies novel sex-specific correlations between Lp(a) levels and coronary plaque characteristics. High Lp(a) levels in men seems to be associated with increased fibrotic plaque volumes and may contribute to greater total plaque burden and high-risk plaque features.
