Elevated lipoprotein(a) levels in South Asians in North America

S S Anand et al. Metabolism. 1998 Feb.

Abstract

This report demonstrates that South Asians living in North America have elevated levels of Lp(a) compared with North American whites. Elevated Lp(a) levels may account, in part, for the tendency of South Asians to develop premature coronary heart disease (CHD).
