yeah well there's not as much research that's been done on lpa but you know it's if you look at postmortem studies you can see lpa in uh in atterosterotic plaques and you can and you can certainly see it on on aortic valves because there's more easier like aortic valves are much more easier to get than atherosclerotic plaque because you can remove the valve and then you can study it in the under the microscope so there's there's good evidence um that the lpa can actually penetrate there usually what they do is they will bind to uh to clots uh that are uh in their region of uh of the atoroma and that's one one of the reasons why they might also be present uh present there
