Lipoprotein(a): Emerging Insights and Therapeutics
American Journal of Preventive Cardiology(2024)
摘要
Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)]’s strong association with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) has led to considerations of it being a potential target for mitigating residual cardiovascular risk. While approximately 20% of the population has an Lp(a) level greater than 50 mg/dL, there are no currently available pharmacological lipid-lowering therapies that have demonstrated substantial reduction in Lp(a). Novel therapies to lower Lp(a) include antisense oligonucleotides and small-interfering ribonucleic acid molecules and have shown promising results in phase 2 trials. Phase 3 trials are currently underway and will test the causal relationship between Lp(a) and ASCVD and whether lowering Lp(a) reduces cardiovascular outcomes. In this review, we summarize emerging insights related to Lp(a)’s role as a risk-enhancing factor for ASCVD, association with calcific aortic stenosis, effects of existing therapies on Lp(a) levels, and variations amongst patient populations. The evolving therapeutic landscape of emerging therapeutics is further discussed.
