apoB/apoA‐I Ratio and Lp(a) Associations With Aortic Valve Stenosis Incidence: Insights From the EPIC‐Norfolk Prospective Population Study

Background Apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein A‐I (apoB/apoA‐I) ratio and lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) are associated with aortic valve stenosis ( AVS ) disease progression. Clinical characteristics such as age, sex, and presence of concomitant coronary artery disease may strongly modify these associations; however, these effects have not been well defined in longitudinal studies. We set out to assess these associations between apoB/apoA‐I ratio, Lp(a),...
