Graded association between lipoprotein(a) levels and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in preclinical heart failure

Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are established independent and additive risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). In addition to its pro-atherogenic and pro-inflammatory properties, elevated Lp(a) has been linked to incident heart failure and adverse...

CHA2DS2-VASc Score for Risk Stratification After Endovascular Therapy in Patients With Symptomatic Peripheral Artery Disease.

OBJECTIVE Risk stratification after endovascular therapy (EVT) for symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD) remains clinically important, particularly in patients with multiple comorbidities. The CHA2DS2-VASc score is a simple clinical score that incorporates major cardiovascular risk factors, but its prognostic uti...
