Background:Lipoprotein a (Lp(a)) is known to be associated with coronary artery disease and carotid artery atherosclerosis. Carotid ultrasound results were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of plaque. Carotid plaque was observed in 1140 (43.5%) subjects and CACS>0 in 1172 (44.7%) subjects.

However, most adults will start to develop advanced plaque in their coronary arteries early in life. By age 66, more than half of all females will have evidence of advanced plaque in their coronary arteries, as seen on a CT calcium score. Coronary atherosclerosis, as evidenced by an abnormal CAC score, is a measure of advanced plaque.
