👉 Aspirin Use for Primary Prevention Among US Adults With and Without Elevated Lp(a) ☝️Regular aspirin use was associated with a 52% lower risk of ASCVD mortality among adults without clinical ASCVD who had elevated Lp(a). These findings suggest that measurement of Lp(a) may

👉High Lp(a): Actionable strategies for risk assessment and mitigation ☝️This review focuses on the identification and clinical management of patients with high Lp(a). Specifically, the authors highlight the clinical value of measuring Lp(a) and its use in determining Lp(a)

Wow. This video is truly eye-opening. Take a couple minutes to watch this. A mind-boggling visual representation of wealth inequality in America. This sh*t ain’t workin’, folks. #TaxBillionaires #UnionsForAll

The more I stare at lipoprotein(a), the more I think these repeats look like jalebis than kringles 🤔 Prior work suggests that lipoprotein(a) has greater influence on heart attack risk among South Asians v others ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI… Circulation Sign up! ourhealthstudy.org

This bit of history feels a bit more poignant today.

Elevated Lp(a) was independently associated with a 67% greater risk of in-stent restenosis events, compared to those with an Lp(a) <50mg/dL Lipoprotein(a) and Long-term In-stent Restenosis after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention academic.oup.com/eurjpc/article…

Very important findings. In asymptomatic individuals, elevated Lp(a) was not associated with CAC, but was associated with any plaque and multiple high risk features. Among CAC=0, there was a significantly higher prevalence of plaque with elevated Lp(a). ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…

Higher Lp(a) levels were associated with increased progression of coronary plaque burden and increased presence of low-density noncalcified plaque and pericoronary adipose tissue inflammation. ja.ma/3WoTd6y

NEW ANALYSIS: Published in the JACC Journals, new data showing that when there was atherosclerosis in "low risk" asymptomatic individuals, the key drivers were LDL-C and Lp(a). #KnowFH #KnowLpa #LDLSafeZone jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

One of the biggest barriers to Lp(a) testing is uncertainty regarding what to do with an elevated level. In this review, star UCSD Internal Medicine Residency resident Charlotte Ellberg and I outline current management strategies #KnowLpa journals.lww.com/co-lipidology/…
