  • Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a particle linked to higher cardiovascular risk and is largely influenced by genetics, prompting this study to investigate Lp(a) levels in relatives of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
  • A multicenter study included 413 subjects, where 56.4% were first-degree relatives of patients with Lp(a) levels ≥ 50 mg/dL; notably, 57.5% had a family history of early ischemic heart disease, and only 20.6% were on statin treatment.
  • Findings showed that 59.4% of these relatives had elevated Lp(a) levels, which were comparable to the patients, indicating a familial predisposition to high L
