Evidence from the Atherothrombosis Intervention in Metabolic Syndrome with Low HDL/High Triglycerides: Impact on Global Health Outcomes (AIM-HIGH) trial suggests that Lp(a) is a predictor of CVD events in patients with normal LDL-C levels [15] and recent studies have suggested that elevated Lp(a) levels like elevated LDL-C, could be associated with premature CVD [8]. Here, LPA is linked to metabolic syndrome.
