A review.Discovered 60 years ago, lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a unique lipo-protein class found only in hedgehogs and primates, and whose physiol. function is unknown [1].Muvalaplin exhibits promising potential as a lipoprotein(a) inhibitor, offering a novel therapeutic avenue for addressing cardiovascular diseases associated with elevated lipoprotein(a) levels.Through its mechanism of action, muvalaplin demonstrates efficacy in reducing lipoprotein(a) levels, thereby mitigating the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular events.This abstract highlights the therapeutic promise of muvalaplin in targeting lipoprotein(a) and underscores its significance in cardiovascular disease management.
