<h4>Rationale</h4>Patients with elevated levels of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] are hallmarked by increased metabolic activity in the arterial wall on positron emission tomography/computed tomography, indicative of a proinflammatory state.<h4>Objective</h4>We hypothesized that Lp(a) induces endothelial cell inflammation by rewiring endothelial metabolism.<h4>Methods and results</h4>We evaluated the impact of Lp(a) on the endothelium and describe that Lp(a), through its oxidized phospholipid content, a ...[more]
