Oxidized phospholipids and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) as important determinants of Lp(a) functionality and pathophysiological role

Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is composed of a low density lipoprotein (LDL)-like particle to which apolipoprotein (a) [apo(a)] is linked by a single disulfide bridge. Lp(a) is considered a causal risk factor for ischemic cardiovascular disease (CVD) and calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS). The evidence...
