Conclusión: Elevated Lp(a) levels were independently associated with maladaptive left ventricular and left atrial remodeling in Hispanic adults over a decade, while no statistically significant relationships were observed in White, Black, and Chinese participants. This suggests a unique susceptibility of Hispanic individuals to Lp(a)-mediated cardiovascular remodeling, independent of ischemic pathways.

Conclusión: Ahead of results from ongoing clinical trials testing Lp(a)-targeted therapies, health systems can use QI methods to assess current Lp(a) ordering practices, identify patients who may benefit from future Lp(a)-targeted therapy, and plan for rapid expansion of Lp(a) testing.

Conclusión: Higher Lp(a) values are associated with LAA stroke, particularly ICAS. Lp(a) levels should be included in the stroke workup.

Conclusión: Routine Lp(a) testing meaningfully alters management and reveals a form of residual dyslipidaemia resistant to standard therapy. These findings, combined with recent cost-effectiveness modelling showing NHS and societal savings from one-time testing, support incorporation of Lp(a) measurement into universal cardiovascular risk assessment.

Conclusión: Elevated Lp(a) levels were observed in 8.3% of the general population cohort and up to 23.9% in participants with ASCVD from the lipid clinic cohort, highlighting a risk gradient across ASCVD categories. Incorporating Lp(a) as a risk enhancer improves ASCVD risk reclassification beyond the validated HellenicSCOREII+.

Conclusión: Elevated Lp(a) levels were associated with a higher risk of ASCVD across different glucose metabolism statuses, particularly among individuals with NGR and prediabetes, independent of baseline CRP levels.
