Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: A raised plasma level of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is an established genetic risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), particularly in patients with concomitant elevation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. The current study focused on the comparison of two commercially available Lp(a) assay kits to determine whether differences observed in measured Lp(a) levels could be deemed negligible in...
