Lipoprotein(a) and Arterial Stiffness Parameters

Conclusion: The present review indicates a positive association between Lp(a) and arterial stiffness, as assessed by PWV and CAVI. To definitively establish these findings, there is a need for further prospective outcome studies that simultaneously measure Lp(a) and the oxidative form of Lp(a) (as a pathological marker) as well as PWV and CAVI.Pulse 2015;3:148-152
