摘要
Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) (Lp-PLA(2)) is a biomarker that can be used to assess the risk for cardiovascular disease and events. In addition to being a useful marker of a risk factor, several studies suggest that Lp-PLA(2) has a pathophysiologic role in the atherosclerotic disease process. In this article, we review this aspect and its therapeutic implications.
