Abstract:

Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a highly polymorphic lipoprotein molecule composed of apolipoprotein A (apo A), apo B100, and cholesterol ester core; calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) is a multifactorial valvular heart disease influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. Lp(a) is an independent risk factor for CAVS and can increase the onset risk of CAVS. Lp(a) plays an important role in the treatment of CAVS. Although surgery is currently the main clinical treatment for CAVS, with further exploration into its pathological mechanism, drug therapy targeting Lp(a) has emerged as a new method. This paper reviews studies about the structure and characteristics of Lp(a), its role in the occurrence and development of CAVS, treatment options related to hyperlipoprotein Aemia, and the studies preventing and treating CAVS by combating inflammation, and enhances the clinicians’ understanding and awareness of hyperlipoprotein Aemia and provides new insights for the prevention and targeted drug therapy of CAVS.

Key words: Lipoprotein(a), Calcific aortic valve stenosis, Aortic valve calcification, Hyperlipoprotein Aemia
