A Mendelian Randomization Analysis Of Lipoprotein(A) Lowering And Cardiovascular Risk Stratified By Ldl Cholesterol, Gender, And Antiplatelet Therapy: Implications For Clinical Outcome Trials

      Background and Aims: Lipoprotein(a) is causally associated with the risk of CVD. Novel therapies that potently and specifically reduce plasma concentration of lipoprotein(a) by up to 70−80% are currently in development. We sought to examine whether the effect of lipoprotein(a) lowering on risk of CVD is modified by LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) level, gender, and antiplatelet therapy to inform the design of clinical outcome trials.
