Abstract
Young individuals who present with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are often devoid of typical traditional atherosclerotic risk factors. As such, they pose challenges to risk stratify for diagnostic imaging and for pathogenetic etiology. We describe 2 patients who presented with ACS and found to have spontaneous coronary artery dissection with thrombosis without significant atherosclerotic burden, but high lipoprotein(a) levels.
期刊介绍:
Because the scope of clinical lipidology is broad, the topics addressed by the Journal are equally diverse. Typical articles explore lipidology as it is practiced in the treatment setting, recent developments in pharmacological research, reports of treatment and trials, case studies, the impact of lifestyle modification, and similar academic material of interest to the practitioner.
Sections of Journal of clinical lipidology will address pioneering studies and the clinicians who conduct them, case studies, ethical standards and conduct, professional guidance such as ATP and NCEP, editorial commentary, letters from readers, National Lipid Association (NLA) news and upcoming event information, as well as abstracts from the NLA annual scientific sessions and the scientific forums held by its chapters, when appropriate.
