Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 Predicts Cardiovascular Death in Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis: a 7-Year Prospective Cohort Study
Source : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10785463/
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is the leading cause of death among maintenance hemodialysis patients, with dyslipidemia being a prevalent complication. The paradoxical relationship between cardiovascular outcomes and established lipid risk markers,...
In this study, when stratified by median values or when assessed as a continuous variable, elevated Lp-PLA2 activity is consistently associated with an increased risk of CV mortality and the occurrence of MACEs.

Effects of Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin-Kexin Type 9 Inhibitors on Inflammatory and Hemostatic Parameters in Post Myocardial Infarction Patients
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38070635/
Despite progress in treatment, elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)), represent a significant part of the residual risk. Both are associated with inflammation and the...
These results show that inflammatory cytokines and fibrinolytic parameters are related to LDL-C and not Lp(a) in patients postmyocardial infarction before and with neither of them following PCSK9 inhibitor treatment.
