The graphical abstract of Lipoprotein(a) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk from a perspective on current risk-stratification

Caption

Patients at higher grade of risk-stratification showed higher Lp(a) level. Participants with both high grades of Lp(a) and risk-stratification were at significantly high risk for recurrent CVEs. The additional value of Lp(a) elevation for CVEs risk prediction was evident in patients at VHR but not those at non-VHR.
