About this trial
The study investigates the role of Lipoprotein(a) \[Lp(a)\] levels in predicting cardiovascular risk and adverse events in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Adults aged 18 years or older
Disqualifiers
Acute coronary syndrome within 30 days
Trial population
targeted cohort consists of men and women presenting with stable ischemic heart disease scheduled to undergo elective PCI at the Assiut University Heart Hospital cardiac catheterization unit. Eligible patients must provide informed consent and undergo baseline blood sampling. The study excludes patients with recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS within 30 days), cardiogenic shock, prior cardiac transplantation/LVAD, limited life expectancy from non-cardiac causes, or those enrolled in contemporary blinded clinical trials specifically for Lp(a)-lowering therapies. By selecting an elective CAD population, the study narrows focus to a lower baseline
