Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a complex polymorphic lipoprotein comprised of a low-density lipoprotein particle with one molecule of apolipoprotein B100 and an additional apolipoprotein(a) connected through a disulfide bond. The serum concentration is mostly genetically determined and only modestly influenced by diet and other lifestyle modifications. In recent years it has garnered increasing attention due to its causal role in pre-mature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and calcific aortic valve stenosis, while novel effective therapeutic options are emerging [apolipoprotein(a) antisense oligonucleotides and ribonucleic acid interference therapy]. Bibliometric descriptive analysis and mapping of the research literature were made using Scopus built-in services. We focused on the distribution of documents, literature production dynamics, most prolific source titles, institutions, and countries. Additionally, we identified historical and influential papers using Reference Publication Year Spectrography (RPYS) and the CRExplorer software. An analysis of author keywords showed that Lp(a) was most intensively studied regarding inflammation, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular risk assessment, treatment options, and hormonal changes in post-menopausal women. The results provide a comprehensive view of the current Lp(a)-related literature with a specific interest in its role in calcific aortic valve stenosis and potential emerging pharmacological interventions. It will help the reader understand broader aspects of Lp(a) research and its translation into clinical practice.
脂蛋白(a)[Lp(a)]是一种复杂的多态脂蛋白,由一个载脂蛋白 B100 分子和一个通过二硫键连接的额外载脂蛋白(a)组成的低密度脂蛋白颗粒组成。血清浓度主要由遗传决定,仅受饮食和其他生活方式改变的适度影响。近年来,由于其在早发性动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病和钙化性主动脉瓣狭窄中的因果作用,它引起了越来越多的关注,而新型有效的治疗选择也在出现[载脂蛋白(a)反义寡核苷酸和核糖核酸干扰疗法]。使用 Scopus 内置服务进行了文献计量学描述性分析和研究文献的制图。我们专注于文档的分布、文献生产动态、最多产的来源标题、机构和国家。此外,我们使用参考出版年光谱法(RPYS)和 CRExplorer 软件识别了历史和有影响力的论文。对作者关键词的分析表明,Lp(a)在炎症、动脉粥样硬化、心血管风险评估、治疗选择以及绝经后妇女的激素变化方面的研究最为深入。结果提供了当前 Lp(a)相关文献的全面视图,特别关注其在钙化性主动脉瓣狭窄和潜在新兴药物干预中的作用。它将帮助读者了解 Lp(a)研究及其转化为临床实践的更广泛方面。
