Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 does not predict mortality or new ischaemic events in acute coronary syndrome patients

Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) (Lp-PLA(2)) has been suggested as an independent predictor of cardiovascular events in epidemiological studies. We sought to evaluate Lp-PLA(2) as a risk factor for future cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and to elucidate the relationship between Lp-PLA(2) and other known risk markers in ACS patients and healthy control subjects.Blood samples were obtained at...
