The biology of lipoprotein(a): From genetics to molecular mechanisms
3 Oct 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a primarily genetically determined, low-density lipoprotein-like particle that plays an important role in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD).
