CRP and left ventricular hypertrophy: There was no correlation between Lp(a) and any other parameters including left ventricular ejection fraction (Spearman correlation 0.14, p = 0.14), left ventricular hypertrophy (Mann-Whitney U Test p = 0.22), left ventricular mass (correlation 0.04, p = 0.68), gender (female median = 577, (IQR 111–741), men 172, (72–558), Mann-Whitney U test p = 0.10); age (Spearman correlation 0.03, p = 0.72); aortic valve area (Spearman correlation 0.09, p = 0.35), evidence of pre-existing coronary artery disease (Mann-Whitney U test p = 0.61) or C-Reactive Protein (Spearman correlation 0.16, p = 0.13).
