Correlation of serum lipoprotein(a) with the angiographic and clinical presentation of coronary artery disease

This study reports the association of elevated serum lipoprotein(a) levels with angiographically extensive coronary disease and the presence of totally occluded coronary arteries, as well as the association of elevated lipoprotein(a) with unstable angina. These results support the role of lipoprotei...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	This study reports the association of elevated serum lipoprotein(a) levels with angiographically extensive coronary disease and the presence of totally occluded coronary arteries, as well as the association of elevated lipoprotein(a) with unstable angina. These results support the role of lipoprotein(a) in the human atherothrombotic process.
