Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) besteht aus einem LDL-Partikel, an dem über das Apolipoprotein B100 des Partikels eine Disulfidbrücke zu einem Apolipoprotein(a) besteht ( Abb. 1 ). Obwohl Lp(a) bereits 1963 von Berg et al. erstmals als „lipoprotein associated antigen“ entdeckt 1 und schon früh ein Zusammenhang mit kardiovaskulären Ereignissen diskutiert wurde 2, konnten diese Annahmen der klinischen Eigenschaften erst deutlich später im Rahmen von epidemiologischen Evaluationen bestätigt werden 3, 4. Ab einer Lp(a)-Konzentration von über 30 mg/dl (> 75 nmol/l) besteht ein nahezu linearer Zusammenhang zwischen dem Anstieg der Lp(a)-Konzentration und kardiovaskulären Ereignissen wie Myokardinfarkt und das Risiko für eine Aortenklappenstenose 3, 4.

Background: The LPA gene causes elevated lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) levels and causally mediates calcific aortic valve stenosis (AS). Elevated Lp(a) and its associated oxidized phospholipids (OxPL-apoB) predict the progression of pre-existing AS and need for aortic valve replacement and are targets of therapy. Methods: We determined the prevalence and the extent of Lp(a) elevation in patients with AS diagnosed by echocardiography performed at the University of California San Diego between 2010-2015. Severity of AS was classified as critical, severe, moderate, mild, or trace. Lp(a) levels were organized as Lp(a) <30 mg/dL, 30-50 mg/dL, 50-100 mg/dL and >100 mg/dL. Results: 2,266 patients with AS were found, with 130 critical, 333 severe, 477 moderate, 1318 mild, and 8 cases of trace AS. Mean age was 75.0 and range 18-106 years. 51% of patients were male. Prevalence of any Lp(a) measurement was 159/2,266 patients (7.02%). The number (%) of patients with an Lp(a) level was: 1) critical (n=4, 3.1%), 2) severe (n=28, 8.4%), 3) moderate (n=56, 11.7%), 4) mild (n=71, 5.4%), and 5) trace (n=0). The extent of Lp(a) elevation within each AS category is in Table 1: 55/159 (34%), 35/159 (22%) and 19/159 (12%) of patients had Lp(a) >30 mg/dL, >50 mg/dL and >100 mg/dL, respectively. Conclusion: Lp(a) was measured in only 7.0% of patients with AS in an academic setting. Given the ongoing development of therapies to lower Lp(a) in patients with AS, educational efforts are needed to raise awareness of Lp(a) as a causal risk factor for AS.
