Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Increased concentrations of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] have been considered a genetically determined risk factor for coronary artery and cerebrovascular disease. Only 2 small and conflicting studies have investigated the possibility of an association of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) with high serum Lp(a) concentrations and low molecular weight (LMW) phenotypes of apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)]. METHODS:...
