Abstract

Sir, the recent report on aggregation of lipoprotein(a) to apolipoproteinA-I and coronary risk factor is very interesting published in Septemberissue of The Anatolian Journal of Cardiology 2013; 13: 543-51 (1). Onat et al.(1) concluded that “Lp (a) may aggregate in a pro-inflammatory milieu toapoA-I, rendering apoA-I atherogenic.” The mechanism underlying theatherogenic is an issue for discussion.
