Persistent lipoprotein(a) exposure and its association with clinical outcomes after acute myocardial infarction: a longitudinal cohort study by Zhenwei Wang, Junnan Tang, Qian Shi, Lijuan Fang, Naifeng Liu, Jinying Zhang

“…Multivariate Cox regression, subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis assessed the association between Lp(a) trajectories and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, unplanned revascularization, and all-cause death.Results Over a median 50-month follow-up, 343 (35.70%) patients encountered MACCE, and 210 (18.70%) died, including 126 (11.20%) from cardiovascular causes. The group with persistent high Lp(a) faced increased risk of MACCE (HRadjusted, 1.871; 95% CI: 1.474–2.374), non-fatal stroke (HRadjusted, 1.647; 95% CI: 1.031–2.632), unplanned revascularization (HRadjusted, 1.571; 95% CI: 1.008–2.449), and both all-cause (HRadjusted, 1.546; 95% CI: 1.134–2.108) and cardiovascular death (HRadjusted, 2.163; 95% CI: 1.405–3.331), compared to the persistent low Lp(a) group.Conclusions In AMI patients, sustained high Lp(a) levels were significantly associated with increased risk of MACCE, non-fatal stroke, unplanned revascularization, and both all-cause and cardiovascular death.…”
