Abstract
Background and Aims: Background: Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a recognized cardiovascular risk factor. Lp(a) concentration in heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH) is not well established. Whether the genetic defect responsible for heFH plays a role in determining Lp(a) concentration is unknown. Aims: To study Lp(a) concentration in subjects genetically diagnosed with heFH and to assess the influence of the genetic defect responsible for heFH on its concentration.
