Lipoprotein(a), Oxidized Phospholipids, and Coronary Artery Disease Severity and Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) and oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) are each independent risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The extent to which Lp(a) and OxPLs predict coronary artery disease (CAD) severity and outcomes in a contemporary, statin-treated cohort is not well established.

Objectives

This study sought to evaluate the relationships between Lp(a) particle concentration and OxPLs associated with apolipoprotein B (OxPL-apoB) or apolipoprotein(a) (OxPL-apo[a]) with angiographic CAD and cardiovascular outcomes.

Methods

Among 1,098 participants referred for coronary angiography in the CASABLANCA (Catheter Sampled Blood Archive in Cardiovascular Diseases) study, Lp(a), OxPL-apoB, and OxPL-apo(a) were measured. Logistic regression estimated t
