In the fully adjusted model, which included age, gender, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, CKD, ApoA1, ApoB, albumin, uric acid, eGFR, fibrinogen, LVEF, and Gensini score, Lp(a) remained linearly and positively associated with all-cause (Figure 2A) and cardiovascular (Figure 2B) mortality (P-nonlinear = 0.528 and 0.859). Here, APOA1 is linked to chronic kidney disease.
