Elevated Plasma Lipoprotein(a) Level and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risks : A Large Clinical Retrospective Study

Patients with well-controlled low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels still suffer from the progress of the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and can develop adverse outcomes. We conducted this study to analyze the relationship between elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels and ASCVD risk. We enrolled 8070 patients in the ASCVD group and 440 participants in the non-ASCVD group [median age of 60 years; 6376 (74.9%) were male]. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify the relationships between the lipids and ASCVD. These models showed that the Lp(a) level was a significant independent risk factor for ASCVD [odds ratio (OR) = 1.025, confidence interval (CI) = 1.020-1.029, P < .001]. The different categories analysis showed the OR of the high Lp(a)/low LDL-C group was 9.612 [CI = 6.206-14.887], P < .001. Our study demonstrated that elevated Lp(a) levels were associated with the increased ASCVD risk. Also, the patients with low LDL-C but high Lp(a) levels still had a higher risk of developing ASCVD than the low Lp(a)/high LDL-C group. In addition, elevated Lp(a) levels were associated with a higher ASCVD risk in males, hypertensive, and diabetic patients.
