Should children or young adults be screened for serum lipid levels to prevent adult coronary heart disease? Experience from the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], an important carrier of oxidized phospholipids, is causally related to calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS). Recently, we found that Lp(a) mediates the development of CAVS through autotaxin (ATX). OBJECTIVE:To determine the predictive value of circulating ATX...
