[0002] Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a type of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) lipid particle, mainly composed of a cholesterol-rich core and a unique apolipoprotein(a) [Apo(a)]. It exhibits genetic polymorphism and long-term stability, showing a skewed distribution in the population. Studies have found that elevated Lp(a) levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and related revascularization.
