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 medication called HRS-5346 to see if it can lower a type of fat in the blood called lipoprotein(a), which is linked to heart disease. If you have high Lp(a) and are at risk for heart problems, this trial may help reduce that risk.
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 whether a type of fat in your blood, called lipoprotein(a), can help predict how well you do after a planned procedure to open a blocked heart artery. If you join, we will take a blood sample before the procedure and follow your recovery to see how lipoprotein(a) levels relate to outcomes.
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.
