This study also concluded that elevated Lp(a) is associated with worse outcomes (MACE) in type 2 diabetics patients with symptomatic CAD (Tertile 1 [median 4.7 mg/dL; reference] versus Tertile 2 [median 13.5 mg/dL]: HR 1.54, 95 % CI: 0.68 to 3.50 and Tertile 1 [median 4.7 mg/dL; reference] versus Tertile 3 [median 38.8 mg/dL]: HR 2.89, 95 % CI: 1.37 to 6.08). Here, LPA is linked to coronary artery disorder.
