Why is aortic stenosis important?
- Aortic stenosis is highly prevalent in
the elderly
- Set to become major healthcare burden
with an ageing population
- Effective medical therapies to slow
disease progression are lacking
- Untreated symptomatic aortic stenosis
has a yearly mortality rate >25%!
- Only treatment is surgical or
transcatheter valve replacement, but
- ptimal timing is not established

There is an unmet need for novel therapies to slow or halt aortic stenosis progression!

Thanassoulis - NEJM 2013 LPA rs10455872 Risk for incident aortic stenosis: HR per allele, 1.68 (95% CI, 1.32 to 2.15) Risk for aortic-valve replacement: HR per allele, 1.54 (95% CI, 1.05 to 2.27)
Lp(a) levels and LPA polymorphisms associate with incident aortic stenosis across cohorts

- 1. LDL-C associates with AS incidence, but not disease progression
- 2. Disease drivers for initation phase may be different from the propagation phase
↑ LDL-C ↑ Lp(a) ↑ LDL-C ↑ Lp(a) ? Aikawa – Circulation 2012
Lp(a) and OxPL associate with faster disease progression in mild-moderate AS
Lp(a) and OxPL associate with faster disease progression in mild-moderate AS
- More prospective longitudinal studies are needed
- Are these findings relevant for the elderly patient encountered
in daily practice?
- Relationship of Lp(a) and OxPL with sensitive imaging markers
- f calcification has not been well defined
We analyzed a pooled cohort of 2 prospective studies
Baseline characteristics were similar across Lp(a) and OxPL-apoB tertiles
Lp(a) distribution Baseline CT Ca-score Baseline peak aortic jet velocity
Lp(a) associates with increased calcification activity and faster disease progression
Follow-up (1-3 yrs) 18F-NaF PET/CT
- Detects active microcalcification
- Predicts disease progression
18F-NaF uptake Change in CT Ca-score Change in peak aortic jet velocity
Higher event rate in patients with ↑Lp(a) and ↑OxPL-apoB
Multivariate Cox regression Event free survival
Lp(a) induces osteogenic differentiation in VICs through OxPL
18F-NaF uptake is increased in ↑Lp(a) subjects without established calcification
