We have a new Lp(a) paper, led by @derlinge from PROSPECT 2 using IVUS/NIRS. It shows high Lp(a) associates most with vulnerable plaque characteristics, whereas LDL-C with plaque burden. Lp(a) was measured by our @UCSDCardiology assay, the only Lp(a) assay I am aware of that is

In PROSPECT II, elevated TC, LDL-C, and non-HDL-C were strongly associated with pancoronary #atherosclerosis & lipid deposition, whereas elevated Lp(a) was strongly associated with the presence of focal vulnerable plaques https://t.co/nBsmNHLIqn #JACC #ASCVD #cvAMI @GreggWStone
