The role of lipoprotein(a) in predicting coronary artery disease among ageing endurance athletes and healthy controls
Lp(a) is independently associated with subclinical CAD in ageing endurance athletes and healthy controls, despite similarly low conventional cardiovascular risk. Lp(a) does not explain the higher CAD prevalence in lifelong athletes compared to controls, but may enhance risk stratification in this low-risk population.
