Lipoprotein(a) and Hypertension-Mediated Organ Damage in Patients with Essential Hypertension: Associations with Carotid Plaque and Impaired Nocturnal Blood Pressure Dipping
Elevated Lp(a) levels were independently associated with carotid plaque presence and impaired nocturnal blood pressure decline in hypertensive patients, suggesting that Lp(a) may be more closely linked to focal macrovascular atherosclerosis and abnormal circadian blood pressure regulation rather than diffuse hypertensi...
