Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between the severity of pulmonary embolism (PE) and levels of lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] in patients at the University Hospital Graz, Austria.
- A retrospective analysis of 811 PE patients was conducted, categorizing them into four risk groups based on the 2019 ESC guidelines: low risk, intermediate low risk, intermediate high risk, and high risk.
- The research found no significant correlation between PE severity and Lp(a) levels, as similar median Lp(a) concentrations were observed across all risk groups.
