Abstract

Background and Aims : Lipoprotein(a) is an apoB-containing lipoprotein attached to an apolipoprotein(a) and is causally associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease.

We therefore sought to determine whether Lp(a) has a clinically significant venous or arterial prothrombotic effect.
