Lipoprotein(a) Particle Production as a Determinant of Plasma Lipoprotein(a) Concentration Across Varying Apolipoprotein(a) Isoform Sizes and Background Cholesterol‐Lowering Therapy

BACKGROUND: Elevated lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), a low‐density lipoprotein‐like particle bound to the polymorphic apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)), may be causal for cardiovascular disease. However, the metabolism of Lp(a) in humans is poorly understood. METHODS AND RESULTS: We investigated the kinetics of Lp...
