Lp(a) phenotypes, other lipoprotein parameters, and a family history of coronary heart disease in middle‐aged males
In a study of 95 presumably healthy, 4CM2‐year‐old males from Northern Sweden, the Lp(a) phenotype distribution differed between those who had, and those who did not have one or more close relatives (parent or sib) with coronary heart disease. In the former group, 60% of the males were Lp(a+), as op...
