Cardiovascular endpoints and psychosocial challenges of lipoprotein(a) of 5726 participants in the ELITE-study over 5 years
Elevated Lp(a) is associated with a significantly higher rate of cardiovascular events, independent of traditional CVRFs. This confirms a causal role of Lp(a) in CV morbidity. Personalized written prevention recommendations improved CVRFs across both groups, though further optimization is needed. Notably, elevated Lp(a) also imposes a psychosocial burden, underlining the need for enhanced education, counseling, and clinical pathways.
