For patients with elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and established cardiovascular disease (CVD), weekly lipoprotein apheresis (LA) is the only approved treatment, but it represents a significant burden. The Lp(a)FRONTIERS APHERESIS trial investigated whether the investigational therapy pelacarsen could reduce the need for this invasive procedure.¹Mechanism of ActionPelacarsen is a hepatocyte…

AUTHOR: Brad WilsonIn a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC), Dr Elias Björnson and his colleagues demonstrated that lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is approximately six times more atherogenic than low-density lipoprotein (LDL) per particle.Lp(a) is a lipoprotein particle that has long been recognised as a causal factor for coronary heart disease (CHD). However,…
