LPA and coronary artery disorder: A study from India also looked at the difference of Lp(a) in patients of acute MI in ≤45 years of age, and found high Lp(a) in cases as compared to control (33.84+23.69 vs 19.68+10.39 mg/dl, p<0.05) but selection of cases and controls was not based on angiography.15 Researchers from Australia investigated patients with premature coronary artery disease (<60 years) and found that Lp(a) >50 mg/dl was significantly associated with high SYNTAX and Gensini score, independent of other risk factors, depicting severe and complex coronary artery involvement across patient tertiles.
