ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Lipoprotein a [lp (a)] variability is gaining growing attention in cardiovascular disease.
Research motivation
The association between lp (a) variability and follow-up C-reactive protein (CRP) level in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been investigated.
Research objectives
To explore the association between lp (a) variability and mean CRP levels within the 1st year post-PCI.
Research methods
This was a multicenter retrospective study.
Research results
Lp (a) variability was positively related to the mean follow-up CRP in patients undergoing PCI.
Research conclusions
High variability could be considered an independent risk factor for increased post-PCI CRP level.
Research perspectives
Prospective studies are further needed to verify the results of this paper.
