Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence of elevated Lp(a) in the working general population.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence of elevated lipoprotein(a) concentrations and distribution of lipoprotein(a) in a working general population. This is a prospective study investigating the association of lipoprotein(a) with cardiovascular markers and outcomes.
