Lipoprotein (a) and Vascular Regenerative Cell Content
In Brief
An observational study for Cardiovascular Diseases and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
Lp(a)-VRCE is an observational, cross sectional study looking at vessel reparative stem cell content in people with and without elevated lipoprotein (a) \[Lp(a)\]. Specifically, the type and number of these cells in peripheral blood samples will be measured in participants with Lp(a) ≥100 nmol/L and compared to participants with Lp(a) \< 100 nmol/L. Determining the presence or absence of specific cells with blood vessel repair capacity in participants with high Lp(a) will further our knowledge of potential mechanisms through which Lp(a) influences cardiovascular health.
