What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

1. Introduction Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is a type of lipoprotein that is structurally similar to LDL (low-density lipoprotein) but carries an additional protein called apolipoprotein (a). 2. Purpose of the Study The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Lp(a) levels on arterial stiffness, endothelial function, and left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) deformation over a 12-month follow-up period. Secondarily, the study will investigate: * a) The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including cardiovascular death, acute myocardial infarction, and acute stroke. * b) The correlation between MACE incidence and parameters of arterial stiffness, endothelial function, and LA/LV deformation. * c) The levels of oxidative load markers. 3. Materials and Methods This observational study will include adults aged 18-75 years (regardle
