Lipoprotein(a): an elusive cardiovascular risk factor.
Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], is present only in humans, Old World nonhuman primates, and the European hedgehog. Lp(a) has many properties in common with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) but contains a unique protein, apo(a), which is structurally different from other apolipoproteins. The size of the apo(a) gene is highly variable, resulting in the protein molecular weight ranging from 300 to 800 kDa; ...
متن کاملLipoprotein (a) and Cardiovascular Risk
First epidemiological studies of Lp(a) and CHD were reported at the end of the last century (1-3) but the investigation of this lipoprotein as a potential cardiovascular risk factor has been hampered by the lack of consistent approaches to its measurement for decades. Lp(a) laboratory standardization emerged in 2000 (4) and was accepted by the World Health Organization in 2004 (5). Another chal...
متن کاملDiscrimination, dispositions, and cardiovascular responses to stress.
OBJECTIVE Recent research suggests that past exposure to discrimination may influence perceptions of, and physiological responses to, new challenges. The authors examined how race and trait levels of hostility and optimism interact with past exposure to discrimination to predict physiological reactivity and recovery during an anger recall task. DESIGN A community sample of 165 normotensive Bl...
متن کاملLipoprotein(a) as a cardiovascular risk factor: current status
AIMS The aims of the study were, first, to critically evaluate lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] as a cardiovascular risk factor and, second, to advise on screening for elevated plasma Lp(a), on desirable levels, and on therapeutic strategies. METHODS AND RESULTS The robust and specific association between elevated Lp(a) levels and increased cardiovascular disease (CVD)/coronary heart disease (CHD) risk...
متن کاملLipoprotein(a) hyperlipidemia as cardiovascular risk factor: pathophysiological aspects
Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is a modified LDL particle with an additional apolipoprotein [apo(a)] protein covalently attached by a thioester bond. Multiple isoforms of apo(a) exist that are genetically determined by differences in the number of Kringle-IV type-2 repeats encoded by the LPA gene. Elevated plasma Lp(a) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease.The phenotypic diversity o...
