Lipoprotein Lp(a) as predictor of myocardial infarction in comparison to fibrinogen, LDL cholesterol and other risk factors: results from the prospective Göttingen Risk Incidence and Prevalence Study (GRIPS).

abstract：:There is considerable information to indicate that when there is vessel injury, platelets can play a major role in the development of atherosclerosis and its thromboembolic complications in the non-diabetic population. Diabetes is a disease associated with an increased risk of vascular complications, but the nature of...
