Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, and
coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cardiovascular disease
with a prevalence that increases with age. Recent studies have
demonstrated that the prevalence of CAD in the young population has been
increasing. Evidence from epidemiological and clinical analyses in both
primary and secondary prevention populations show an independent
association between Lp(a) and risk for cardiovascular disease and death,
results that are further supported by genetic studies indicating that Lp(a)
has a causal role in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD).
