Association between elevated lipoprotein(a) levels and vulnerability of carotid atherosclerotic plaque: A systematic review
Background
The role of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] as a potential risk factor for atherosclerotic arterial disease has been extensively studied. However, the available data regarding its association with the vulnerability of carotid atherosclerotic plaque is limited. The main objective of the present systematic review was to assess the association between elevated Lp(a) levels and carotid vulnerable plaque features.
Methods
This systematic review adhered to PRISMA guidelines, conducting a comprehensive literature search to identify studies examining the association between Lp(a) levels and vulnerability of carotid atherosclerotic plaque. Experimental or observational studies were eligible, without language, country, or publication type restrictions.
Results
Nine studies including 2058 patients were eligible for this systematic review. Five cross-sectional studies, 3 prospective/retrospective cohorts, and 1 subanalysis of a randomized controlled trial were analyzed. Two cross-sectional studies that compared Lp(a) levels between patients with and without vulnerable carotid plaque showed discordant results. Nevertheless, all the studies that evaluated the prevalence or incidence of vulnerable carotid plaque according to Lp(a) levels showed a positive association. Similarly, one study found a significant correlation between vulnerability of carotid plaque and Lp(a) levels.
Conclusion
Almost all studies analyzed in the present review showed a positive association between elevated Lp(a) levels and carotid vulnerable plaque features. However, further research is needed to clarify this issue.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases publishes original papers on basic and clinical science related to the fields of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases. The Journal also features review articles, controversies, methods and technical notes, selected case reports and other original articles of special nature. Its editorial mission is to focus on prevention and repair of cerebrovascular disease. Clinical papers emphasize medical and surgical aspects of stroke, clinical trials and design, epidemiology, stroke care delivery systems and outcomes, imaging sciences and rehabilitation of stroke. The Journal will be of special interest to specialists involved in caring for patients with cerebrovascular disease, including neurologists, neurosurgeons and cardiologists.
