Published Online: Sep 15th 2022

With insights from the PEGASUS-TIMI 54 study, it was assessed whether patients with higher lipoprotein A treated with ticagrelor, a P2Y12 inhibitor, have a greater reduction in cardiovascular risk. In this touchCARDIO interview, we speak with Dr Siddharth Patel (Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA) to discuss the role of lipoprotein A in atherogenesis and the findings of his study presented at ESC 2022. 

The abstract entitled ‘Lipoprotein(a), cardiovascular events, and benefit of P2Y12 inhibition: insights from the PEGASUS-TIMI 54 trial’ was presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2022, 26 – 29 August 2022.
