Thomas Dayspring: Prognostic Impact of Lp(a) Changes Following Statin Therapy in Patients with CAD
Thomas Dayspring, Lipid Specialist, Educator at Early Medical, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Shuhei Fujita et al, published in Journal of Clinical Lipidology.
”Important news supporting what has been previously thought: The occurrence of MACE did not differ between patients with and without a percent change in
Lp(a) levels of greater than or equal to 20 percent after statin use. Our observations indicate that an increase in Lp(a) following the commencement of statins
may not necessarily attenuate the anti-atherosclerotic effect of LDL-C lowering in patients with CAD.”
