Research progress of lipoprotein a and calcific aortic valve disease
Calcific aortic valve disease(CAVD)is a common acquired valvular heart disease that may cause heart failure and sudden cardiac death.However,there is currently no effective interventions to prevent or slow down the CAVD.Recent studies have found that lipoprotein a[Lp(a)]is closely related to the occur-rence and development of CAVD.This article reviews the mechanism,clinical research,and potential therapeu-tic targets of Lp(a)and CAVD,in order to improve the understanding of the clinical prevention and treatment of Lp(a)and CAVD.
