Özet
The aim of our study was to evaluate lipoprotein(a) whose plasma levels are mostly under genetic regulation as a risk factor for coronary artery disease in Turkish dyslipidemic patients according to Framingham risk scoring system. Totally 173 high and low-risk dyslipidemic patients according to Framingham risk scoring system were enrolled and association of Lp(a) with major risk factors were studied. At the end of the study, there was not a statistically significant correlation between the Lp(a) level and Framingham risk group. Although there was a statistically significant positive correlation between TG levels and high levels of Lp(a), there were not such a relationship between high levels of Lp(a) and other parameters such as age, sex, HT, DM, smoking status, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. © 2018, Logos Medical Publishing.
