LPA and Atherosclerosis
Benoît explains how LPA is a main driver before the onset of any discernible plaque, but it also has a double whammy where it initiates the disease and is associated with the progression of the disease.

It is also strongly associated with aortic stenosis, peripheral artery disease, ischemic cerebral strokes, and kidney disease.In this clip
