In the literature

When the subgroup analysis was conducted considering the study types in lp(a) 30 mg/dL group, a significant positive effect of lp(a) ≥30 mg/dL on CAVD was noted in the cohort studies (RR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.19–1.61), while the result of case-control studies had a positive trend without statistical significance (RR, 1.27; 95% CI, 0.78–2.06).
Specifically, if a positive trend is found in our pilot study, it may be the initial point for the development of a prospective comparative study in a larger sample size, including also the analysis of additional vascular biomarkers, such as matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), which is an elastin-degrading enzyme that may have a direct correlation with the vascular changes evaluated by color Doppler imaging.
