Abstract
Background and Aims : Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease and concentrations are predominantly (90%) determined by genetic factors. In the Copenhagen City Heart Study, it was found that 20% of the general population has Lp(a) >50mg /dL. We attempted to retrospectively review Lp (a) data amongst North Wales (United Kingdom) patients who have been referred to the Lipid / Cardiovascular Risk / Familial Hypercholesterolaemia clinics over the past 6 years.
