Overview

Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is an enzyme that can modify low-density lipoproteins and may be involved in atherogenesis and the risk of coronary artery disease. In a nested case-control study, patients in the highest quintile of Lp-PLA2 levels had nearly twice the odds of coronary events compared with patients in the lowest quintile.
