"Serum Lipoprotein (a) as a Diagnostic Biochemistry Section Marker of Coronary Artery Disease: A Case-Control Study."

Abstract

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a major cause of mortality in India. Conventional risk factors fail to explain the increasing burden of CAD, thus necessitating to search for newer risk factors like Lipoprotein (a) {Lp(a)}. Lp(a) is considered as one of the risk marker of CAD. Lp(a) levels have shown wide ethnic variation among human population.
