Lp(a) is associated with aortic stenosis, myocardial infarction, peripheral vascular disease, ischemic cerebral strokes, and chronic kidney disease.

“basically if they fit into sort of three categories the first being enhanced atherosclerosis the second I don't know which by magnitude would pose a bigger threat but probably aortic stenosis given the severity and then the third being enhanced venous thrombosis”

“if i would have to uh rank those uh atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease the first one will be aortic valve stenosis that's um it's obviously less present or prevalent than uh than mi or or stroke but the but there are fewer contributing factors beyond lp little a the way you have apob exactly exactly so the relative risk is actually higher that the absolute risk is lower because there's not that many people that have that might be two percent of the of the population age above 60 but if you look at top quintile versus lower quintile the biggest risk is with aortic valve stenosis after that it depends on the steady sometimes it's myocardial infarction sometimes it's peripheral artery disease and we haven't talked about that but lpa is very strongly associated with pad as well so it's aortic valve stenosis pad and mi then ischemic stroke and it's important to make the distinction between hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke because lpa is only associated with with ischemic stroke and yeah i think that's it it's also associated with chronic kidney disease”

“it's also associated with chronic kidney disease so that's it really it's only associated with aortic stenosis mis peripheral vascular disease ischemic cerebral strokes and kidney disease”
