The isolated elevation of Lp(a) level was not an independent indicator for platelet reactivity, yet the concomitant elevation of Lp(a) and hs-CRP levels was significantly associated with increased platelet reactivity. Whether intensified antiplatelet therapy or anti-inflammatory strategies could mitigate the risks in patients presenting combined Lp(a) and hs-CRP elevation requires future investigation.
