Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent form of cardiac arrhythmia worldwide. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential, emphasizing the need to develop novel biomarkers. Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] has recently been widely investigated as a potential risk factor for various cardiovascular conditions, including AF.

Background: The role of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) in the risk-assessment of patients with de-novo stable chest pain is sparsely investigated. We assessed the association between Lp(a) concentration and the presence of coronary stenosis on coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography in a broad population of patients referred with stable chest pain.
Methods: Lp(a) measurements and coronary CT angiography were performed in 4,346 patients with stable chest pain and no previous history of coronary artery disease.

Oxidative modifications of lipoproteins play a crucial role in the initiation of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVDs). Nowadays, the one effective strategy for the treatment of patients with hyperlipoproteinemia(a) is lipoprotein apheresis (LA), which has a pleiotropic effect on reducing the risk of ASCVDs. The significance of oxidative susceptibility of the LDL fraction in ASCVDs has been extensively studied.

Purpose: There are limited reports on the potential link between Lp(a) and ARDM. Thus, we examined the relationship between Lp(a) and ARDM among hypertensive patients.
Methods: We used echocardiography to measure ARDM in 513 consecutively hospitalized patients.

Background: To study effect of pregnancy on obese women's maternal cardiometabolic biomarkers as a signature for maternal morbidity and complications.
Methods: This cross-sectional cohort study involved pregnant Emirati women who had regular menstrual cycles and had normal blood pressure. Pre-pregnancy body mass index was calculated using height and weight measurements recorded within three months before current pregnancy.
