Abstract excerpt

Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and aortic valve stenosis. The level is genetically determined and remains stable during life, and elevated levels may be inherited. The 2025 ESC/EAS Management of Dyslipidaemias Focused Update recommends measuring Lp(a) at least once in adulthood. It further recommends considering Lp(a) >105 nmol/L (>50 mg/dL) as a risk-enhancing...
