ascvd 10 year risk :: Article Creator High Lp(a) Levels Harmful In Patients With And Without ASCVD Elevated lipoprotein(a) increases the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with and without preexisting atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), a new study shows. The analysis, however, suggests there may be different thresholds for risk with heightened Lp(a) in these diverse patient populations, investigators say. "When we use Lp(a) as a risk marker, it behaves quite differently between patients with ASCVD and patients without ASCVD," senior investigator Ron Blankstein, MD (Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA), told TCTMD.

Blankstein said patients referred to specialty clinics because of elevated Lp(a) a...
