How Lp(a) affects heart and blood vessel health
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how a fatty substance in your blood called lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), might affect the stiffness of your arteries and how well your heart muscle works. It will help us understand if high Lp(a) is connected to early signs of heart disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests an oral medicine (HRS-5346) to lower lipoprotein(a), a type of fat in the blood linked to heart problems. It might help people with high levels who are at increased risk for heart attacks or strokes.
This study looks at a type of fat in your blood called Lp(a) and whether it can help predict how well people do after getting a heart stent (PCI). If you have stable heart disease and are scheduled for a planned stent procedure, joining this study would involve a blood test before the procedure to check your Lp(a) levels.
This study looks at a blood marker called Lp(a) in adults who have lymphedema. The goal is to understand whether checking Lp(a) is important for people with this condition.
This study looks at levels of a type of cholesterol called Lp(a) in people with certain heart and blood vessel diseases. The goal is to understand how common high Lp(a) is in Russian adults with these conditions.
This trial looks at how a type of fat in the blood called lipoprotein(a) and your body's ability to break down clots affect heart disease or heart valve disease. It is for people who are already taking certain cholesterol-lowering medicines or have severe aortic valve narrowing from calcium buildup.
This study uses a heart CT scan to look for early signs of heart disease in first-degree relatives of people with high or low Lp(a). It aims to find hidden risks before symptoms start.
