Relationship between lipoprotein(a) levels, oxidative stress, and blood pressure levels in patients with essential hypertension

High plasma levels of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] are considered a risk factor for the development of coronary artery disease. In vitro experiments have shown that oxidized Lp(a) is able to impair the arterial endothelium-dependent dilation, thus suggesting a possible role of Lp(a) in the genesis of esse...
