Even cardiologistsoften overlookLp(a), in part because Lp(a) is not as well-understood as other risk factors and treatment options are still very limited.This book offers an authoritative and comprehensive overview ofLipoprotein(a). It provides an in-depthreview of all aspects of Lp(a), from pathophysiology to metabolism. Chapters offer the reader a contemporary view of the important roles of Lp(a) as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
