Article Synopsis
- The study investigates undiagnosed cardiovascular risk factors, like elevated lipoprotein(a), in patients with ischaemic heart disease (IHD).
- Among the 555 patients, newly diagnosed individuals showed a significantly higher prevalence of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and type 2 diabetes compared to those with known IHD.
- The findings suggest a need for improved detection of chronic metabolic diseases in high-risk patients, highlighting the importance of monitoring factors like Lp(a) levels, smoking habits, and dietary intake.
