Full description

The PMMHRI-Lp(a)-Registry is a non-interventional, single-center registry conducted in Poland's 2nd largest, supra-regional hospital - the Polish Mother's Memorial Hospital Research Institute (PMMHRI). The PMMHRI-Lp(a)-Registry was established in January 2022. Since then, all consecutive patients of the Departments of Cardiology, Endocrinology, and outpatient cardiology and endocrinology clinics have been included. The indications for Lp(a) measurement in the registry are based on the 2021 Polish Lipid Guidelines and new Polish recommendations on the management of elevated Lp(a) (2024). Lp(a) was determined using Sentinel's Lp(a) Ultra, an Immunoturbidimetric quantitative test (Sentinel, Milan, Italy), and the results are presented in mg/dl.

The following information was collected from the patient's medical records: demographic parameters; relevant comorbidities; concomitant medications including lipid-lowering therapy status, anticoagulation status; smoking status; post hoc calculated cardiovascular risk score; and laboratory parameters including i.e. Lp(a) and lipids profile.
