Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle in which apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB) is attached to a glycoprotein called apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)]. Apo(a) has several genetically determined phenotypes differing in molecular weight, to which Lp(a) concentrations in plasma are inv

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) subclass phenotype B, characterized by a predominance of small, dense LDL particles, appears to be a genetically influenced risk factor for coronary heart disease. Phenotype B, as determined by gradient gel electrophoresis, appears to be inherited in a manner consistent
Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is a strong and independent risk factor for cardiovascular and coronary heart disease mortality [1]. Established risk factors, including glucose intolerance, arterial hypertension, central obesity, hypercholesterolaemia or hypertriglyceridaemia, have b
