Lipoprotein(a) and acute coronary syndrome: Associations with sex, age and traditional cardiovascular risk factors
Lp(a) levels showed a heterogeneous distribution and was not associated with traditional cardiovascular risk factors or other lipid parameters. This reinforces Lp(a) as an independent risk factor, supporting active screening in patients with ACS, particularly in women not affected by traditional cardiovascular risk factors.
