According to a cohort study, very high lipoprotein(a) levels strongly predict the long-term risk of cardiovascular disease in healthy women.[user content] However, mild to moderately high lipoprotein(a) levels were not a warning sign.[user content] The study provided thirty-year results among participants.[user content] High lipoprotein(a) levels exceeding 125 nmol/l increase the risk of cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction or stroke incident.[1][2] Levels between 75 and 125 nmol/L represent borderline risk, while below 75 nmol/L the risk is low.[1] Lipoprotein(a) is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis, promoting inflammation, atherogenesis and thrombosis.[1][2] Study highlights need for lipoprotein(a) screening.[user content]
