Elevated plasma or serum lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) levels have been associated with premature coronary heart disease (CHD). Lp(a) levels can be assessed quantitatively by electrophoresis and quantitatively by immunoassays determining either total Lp(a) mass, apo(a) mass on Lp(a) protein mass, or by pre
