Lipoprotein(a), Oxidized Phospholipids and Tensile Clot Strength Measured by Thromboelastography in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Intervention.
BACKGROUND Lp(a) (lipoprotein[a]) and tensile clot strength (TCS) are distinct and independent risk factors for incident cardiovascular disease and recurrent ischemic events. Lp(a) is a carrier of oxidized phospholipids (OxPL) that contribute to its atherothrombotic properties. The current objective is to study the rel...
