Results Brandenburg patients with cardiovascular diseases showed higher Lp(a) levels than healthy controls (24.2% vs. 14.8%, p  = 0.001), and the high-Lp(a) group demonstrated a higher prevalence of coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, or cerebrovascular disease than the low-Lp(a) group ( p  = 0.004).
