Plasma levels of lipoprotein[a] (Lp[a]) are associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease and show an inverse correlation with apolipoprotein[a] (apo[a]) molecular weight. We determined Lp[a] levels and apo[a] phenotypes in 171 cases with preclinical extracranial carotid atherosclerosis as ascertained by B-mode ultrasound and in 274 control subjects free of carotid atherosclerosis. Lp[a] protein...
