Aims: Lipoprotein(a) Lp(a) is an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in the general population. However, such a role in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is less documented. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between Lp(a) concentrations and ASCVD prevalence in adult patients with FH. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study from the Hellenic Familial Hypercholesterolemia Registry (HELLAS-FH). Patients were categorized into 3 tertiles according to Lp(a) levels. Results: A total of 541 adult patients (249 males) with possible/probable/definite FH heterozygous FH (HeFH) were included (mean age 48.5 ± 15.0 years at registration, 40.8 ± 15.9 years at diagnosis). Median (interquartile range) Lp(a) concentrations in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Lp(a) tertile were 6.4 (3.0–9.7), 22.4 (16.0–29.1) and 77.0 (55.0–102.0) mg/dL, respectively. There was no difference in lipid profile across Lp(a) tertiles. The overall prevalence of ASCVD was 9.4% in the first, 16.1% in the second and 20.6% in the third tertile ( p = 0.012 among tertiles). This was also the case for premature ASCVD, with prevalence rates of 8.5, 13.4 and 19.8%, respectively ( p = 0.010 among tertiles). A trend for increasing prevalence of coronary artery disease (8.3, 12.2 and 16.1%, respectively; p = 0.076 among tertiles) was also observed. No difference in the prevalence of stroke and peripheral artery disease was found across tertiles. Conclusions: Elevated Lp(a) concentrations are significantly associated with increased prevalence of ASCVD in patients with possible/probable/definite HeFH.
