Even cardiologists often overlook Lp(a), in part because Lp(a) is not as well-understood as other risk factors and treatment options are still very limited. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book offers an authoritative and comprehensive overview of Lipoprotein(a). It provides an in-depth review of all aspects of Lp(a), from pathophysiology to metabolism. Chapters offer the reader a contemporary view of the important roles of Lp(a) as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In addition, this volume discusses the clinical implications of elevated Lp(a) and current and future therapies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eLipoprotein(a)\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential resource for physicians, medical students, residents, fellows, and allied health professionals in lipidology, cardiology, endocrinology, pharmacotherapy, and health promotion and disease prevention.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKaram Kostner, MD, Ph.D., FRACP,  FCSANZ\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAssociate Professor of Medicine\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUniversity of Queensland and Mater Hospital\u003c\/p\u003eBrisbane, Australia\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGerhard M.
