Increased lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] concentrations are predictive for coronary artery disease (CAD). The risk conferred by Lp(a) for other types of vascular disease compared with CAD has not been investigated within a single population. This study aimed to investigate Lp(a) risk association for 4 different types of vascular disease (including CAD) within a predominantly white population.
