Lipoprotein Lp (a) and the risk for myocardial infarction
GM Kostner, P Avogaro, G Cazzolato, E Marth… - Atherosclerosis, 1981 - Elsevier
The serum lipoprotein Lp (a) concentration was measured in 76 male post-myocardial
infarction (MI) patients aged between 40 and 60 years, and in 107 control subjects of the
same age and sex. Quantitation was performed by the Laurell technique. It was sensitive in
the range 1–60 mg/dl with a day to day CV of less than 4%. A considerable variation of Lp
(a) concentration was noticed in the whole population with a frequency distribution of higher
order. Conventional statistical methods could therefore not be applied to evaluate a possible …
