Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a lipoprotein with potent atherogenic and thrombogenic potential. Its role in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) combined with three-vessel disease (TVD) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between Lp(a) levels and the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with ACS combined with TVD.

HAPE disrupts the balance of intrapulmonary tissue fluid, resulting in severe lung function impairment.
