摘要
Abstract
Background and aims
Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a crucial pathophysiological characteristic of atherosclerosis. The association between lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] and CAC is inconsistent. We aimed to assess the relationship between Lp(a) and CAC by exploring the association between elevated Lp(a) and CAC prevalence, the relationship between Lp(a) level and CAC prevalence, and the correlation between elevated Lp(a) and CAC progression. Methods
We searched the PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases up to November 01, 2023. Studies exploring the association between serum Lp(a) and CAC (quantified using the Agatston score) were included. Association between Lp(a) level or elevated Lp(a) (higher than the cutoff values of 30 mg/dL, 50 mg/dL, or the highest quartile ranging from 33 to 38.64 mg/dL) and prevalence [CAC score >0 or >100, log (CAC score+1) >0] or progression (an increase in CAC score >0 or ≥100) of CAC were analysed. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using a random-effects model. Results
40,073 individuals from 17 studies were included. Elevated Lp(a) was associated with a higher prevalence of CAC (OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.06 to 1.61; p = 0.01). As a continuous variable, Lp(a) level was positively correlated with the prevalence of CAC (OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.08; p = 0.003). Furthermore, elevated Lp(a) was associated with greater CAC progression (OR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.23 to 1.92; p = 0.0002). Conclusions
This meta-analysis suggested that Lp(a) is associated with prevalence and progression of CAC. Further studies are required to explore whether Lp(a)-lowering therapy could prevent or inhibit CAC, ultimately reducing coronary artery disease risk.
