Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Elevated plasma levels of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) are a prevalent, independent, and causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and calcific aortic valve disease. Lp(a) consists of a lipoprotein particle resembling low density lipoprotein and the covalently-attached glycoprotein apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)). Novel therapeutics that specifically and potently lower Lp(a) levels are currently in advanced stages of clinical development, including in large, phase 3 cardiovascular outcomes trials. However, fundamental unanswered questions remain concerning some key aspects of Lp(a) biosynthesis and catabolism as well as the true pathogenic mechanisms of the particle. In this review, we describe the salient biochemical features of Lp(a) and apo(a) and how they underlie the disease-causing potential of Lp(a), the factors that determine plasma Lp(a) concentrations, and the mechanism of action of Lp(a)-lowering drugs.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
