  20. Therapeutic agents affecting Lp(a) levels • Increase: • ‘small’ decrease: – Statins – Niacin – Low fat diets – LDL-apheresis – Garlic supplements – CETP-inhibition – apoB-antisense – MTP inhibitors – Anabolic steroids – aspirin

  21. Effect of diet, statin therapy and apheresis on Lp(a) Statin Apheresis Treatment Therapy 15% increase) 175 mg/dL 150 150 mg/dL Pre Lp(a) (mg/dL) Diet Therapy 102 (No effect) Time Averaged (35%) 102 mg/dL Post 45 45 mg/dL Time 21
