Abstract

Background and Aims: Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], is a genetically pre-determined lipoprotein, unaltered by environmental factors and can vary between ethnic groups. It is a recognised risk factor of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The EAS recommends testing Lp(a) at least once in patients with hyperlipidaemia or a family history of premature CVD. We studied the Lp(a) concentrations in a multi-ethic cohort from our clinic according to their sex, lipid profile and Carotid Doppler scan.
