Abstract

A comparative trial within 2 groups of patients with cardiovascular diseases who have high and normal
levels of lipoprotein (a) was conducted to determine the link between high levels of Lp (a) and the nature
of the development of cardiovascular events. According to the results of the study, conclusions about
the significance of the level of Lp(a), as well as hypolipidemic therapy in patients with cardiovascular
pathology were made. The features of the population of patients with an expected increase in Lp(a) and
the predominance of lesions of the brachiocephalic arteries among individuals with increased Lp(a)
were revealed. Hypolipidemic statin therapy with a passable correction of the lipid spectrum does not
always allow to control the increase in Lp(a).
