The serum level of Lp(a) ha been defined in retrospective and cross sectional studies as an independent risk factor for acute myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular thrombotic accidents. However, recent prospective studies have found no evidences of association between Lp(a) levels and risk of myocardial infarction, therefore, current knowledge does not support the measurement of Lp(a) as a screening tool among middle age men. Further research is needed, to identify specific groups where Lp(a) may be a risk factor.
在回顾性研究和横断面研究中，Lp(a)的血清水平已被定义为急性心肌梗死和脑血管血栓形成事件的独立危险因素。然而，最近的前瞻性研究未发现Lp(a)水平与心肌梗死风险之间存在关联的证据，因此，目前的认知并不支持将Lp(a)检测作为中年男性的筛查工具。需要进一步研究以确定Lp(a)可能成为危险因素的特定人群。
