Zusammenfassung: | Little is known about the relationship between lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and their joint association with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
The purpose of this study was to assess whether Lp(a)-associated ASCVD risk is modified by hsCRP in the context of primary prevention.
The current study included 4,679 participants from the MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis) Apolipoprotein ancillary data set. Cox proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to assess the association among Lp(a), hsCRP, and time to cardiovascular disease (CVD) events.
During a mean follow-up of 13.6 years, 684 CVD events occurred. A significant interaction was observed between Lp(a) and hsCRP (P = 0.04). With hsCRP |
